| 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 began having symptoms in 2001 and was finally diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer in July 2002. Vicki lost her battle with ovarian cancer in January of 2006 at the age of 52 and sadly, three months later Vicki's mother in law, Lula Mae (Lou) Welsh, also passed of ovarian cancer. |
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.
