Shortly before Vicki passed away she expressed her wish to family and friends for the
need to better educate women about ovarian cancer. Too frequently this disease is not
detected until it’s in an advanced stage, and women need to know their risk factors, the
potential symptoms and be assertive in speaking to their health care providers.
In Vicki’s memory, this fund has been established to fight ovarian cancer by promoting
greater awareness of the disease and its symptoms.
Vicki loved life! Helping other women live longer will be her legacy.

| Vicki Welsh was an outgoing, compassionate woman, who loved nature, animals, outdoor activities, her art and traveling with her husband Dave, whom she was married to for 33 years. She received her Bachelors degree in English Literature at UMKC and worked for Hallmark Cards for 17 years in the creative writing department. Vicki began having symptoms in 2001 and was finally diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer in July 2002. We lost Vicki in January of 2006 at the age of 52, and sadly, three months later we also lost Vicki’s mother-in-law, Lula Mae (Lou) Welsh, also to ovarian cancer. |
