TRIBUTES
I knew Vickie while we worked at the charity Missing People
Vicks was a crucial member of the case management team and she suported numerous families of missing people. Vicks was one of the few people happy to cover the night shift and if ever the helpline needed to be manned late at night or early in the morning Vicks could be relied upon to help out.
She was a bit of a jack of all trades and Some of us affectionately called her ‘Witchy Woo’ as she had a supernatural ability to fix photocopiers and printers everyone else had given up on.
Immensely kind and with a great sense of humour, Vicks was a unique character and a vital part of the charity Missing People in its early days
Lots of love to her son Bruce

Miss You Vicks talking about our past and having a good moan about our every day lives. You are always in my thoughts and thank you for all your advice etc etc and being there when we worked together at Missing Persons helpline both day and night I might add.

Vickie joined NMPH, as it was then, in its infancy and became a mainstay of the charity. She was a caring and compassionate Case Manager. We, her colleagues, loved and respected her for her kindness, wicked sense of humour and her advice and guidance. She was a great colleague, good friend and quietly proud Mum.
I was shocked and saddened by the news of her death and my heart goes out to Bruce.
