Peg Bicker Obituary

Bicker, Dr. Peg MD As a physician, Peg devoted her life to helping others. She was a brilliant, comforting, beautiful human being, loved by all who knew her. With BFAs in Sculpture and Art History, she decided to become a medical doctor. She looked at life with an amazing blend of art and science. Always the perfectionist, she never felt that she could do enough. Peg died in the early morning hours of June 24, 2019. She leaves behind her husband, Larry Schwarm, who lost the love of his life, her parents Marjorie Hall Bicker and Richard Bicker, both of Winfield, her sister, Windy York and husband Jay of Denver, her brother Micah in Oregon, five nieces and nephews, and hundreds of friends, colleagues, and medical patients. A celebration of Peg's life will be held at the Wichita Art Museum on Saturday, June 29, 2019, between the hours of 6:00 and 8:00 PM. Celebrate your love for Peg in any way that gives comfort. Being passionate about art and medicine, memorials have been established in her name for the Wichita Art Museum or Prairie Home Health & Hospice on Dodge City.

I was blessed to have Dr Bicker as my doctor after Dr Youngberg retired. She was a brilliant, gifted, caring and special soul. I felt honored to have her as my doctor and in my life. I can't imagine the heartbreak her husband and family feel without her. I pray for you all and that she rest in peace. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dr Peg Bicker's ability to listen with intelligence and respect was a gift she shared generously. We are grateful for her compassionate and sincere treatment of my father and her thoughtful and honest support for us. Though we most often communicated from a distance, it is obvious that she was a rare being.

I am FOREVER grateful for our professional relationship and our personal friendship. You spent real time with patients and provided a special kind of care that is rare these days. You had an amazing gift for reassuring people, comforting them and your smile alone would make the room light up.
You made me a better Nurse.
Larry, my heart breaks for you.

I was Dr. Bicker's Case Manager for a few years at Via Christi. She was kind, compassionate and cared deeply about her patients. She was so nice and no matter how busy, she always took a moment to chat.
I am so sorry for your loss.

We both thought her a beautiful person. To us she was more like a close friend than a doctor. Gunter felt like he could talk to her anytime and she gave him time whenever he needed her. We have sorely missed her since she quit her practice....we are sorry for your loss!

Dr. Bicker was not only my physician, I considered her my friend. She was the most caring, thoughtful and kind person I have ever known. I always looked forward to my appointments with her.
When she told me she was closing I was devastated. When I found out she had passed I thought things could not get any worse. I truly adored Dr. Bicker and I will miss her dearly. The world will not be the same without her. I hope she is at peace now. I am truly sorry for her family, you lost an angel.

June 28, 2019

As you remember your love one, as God heals your broken hearts (Psalm 147:3), may your cherished memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength to endure.

With Heartfelt Sympathy,

I have known Peg since she took over for Dr. Youngberg. I was one of her patients. Peg was an incredible lady. She always greeted with a smile and when I left her office I felt upbeat. That was one of her many gifts. My soul aches for her loss to all those family and friends who loved her. A loving God will hold her close and give us the strength to go on without her. May we all continue to spread the joy and kindness that she so readily gave to each of us.

I am very saddened to hear of Pegs death. She was one of the internal medicine residents I worked with at vcsf. She was very smart and took care of her patients with loving care. You are missed. I will be praying for the family during this hard time.

June 27, 2019

I first met Dr. Bicker as a medical student while I worked in family medicine. She was rotating through our office. I admired her drive and the way she spoke with patients. She was passionate about medicine and taking care of patients. She was truly a KIND person. I further interacted with her as an RN at Wesley where she was a resident. She was always incredibly kind to this new nurse and answered my questions I may have had. While Dr. Bicker may not have recognized me if I saw her at the grocery store, I would recognize her and remember how wonderful of a person she is. She made an impact on me and I'm forever thankful. She will be missed by many. Prayers for her family during this difficult time.

Peg gave me the advice of using Listerne breath strips for a sour throat. Her dentist told her to use them because the strips have no sugar. The strips really work and freshen your breath. I always remember her whenever I use one. Thanks Peg you will be missed. You are a beautiful lady inside and out.
