Vickie L. Dickey

LEIPSIC – Vickie L. (Durf) Dickey, 69 of Leipsic, passed away peacefully at CHP Defiance Inpatient Hospice with her beloved son and daughter-in-law by her side.

She was born March 23, 1953 in Chambersburg, PA to the late George and Betty (Smith) Durf.  On May 22, 1982, she married Bruce "Ed" Dickey who preceded her in death on November 6, 1996.

Survivors include a son, Brandan (Mariah) Dickey of Leipsic; a sister, Karen Nye of Chambersburg PA; a niece, Stacey Barber of Fayetteville, PA; a sister-in-law, Joanie Martin of Hapeville, GA and her grand pups whom she especially loved, Paris, Buddy and Callie.

She was also preceded in death by her brother, Glenn "Butch" Smith; and two sisters: Georgette (Durf) Marzullo and Barbara "BJ" Durf-Martin.

Vickie retired in 2020 after 25 years with RK Industries.  She was an avid Pittsburg Steelers fan who enjoyed her flowers, landscaping and nature watching on the farm.  Vickie and Ed were an over the road (OTR) truck driving team for many years.  She longed for the day she would be reunited with the love of her life, Ed.

We will celebrate Vickie's life on Saturday, November 12, 2022 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at LOVE-HEITMEYER FUNERAL HOME, Leipsic with a small service at 4:00 p.m.
