Vicki Cifaldi Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 6, 2025.
Vicki Janine Cifaldi, age 55, of Valparaiso, Indiana passed peacefully into the loving arms of Jesus. The veil between Heaven and earth was opened during the early morning hours on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. Her sons and family members were able to spend time with her in her final hours loving on her and praying over her as her earthly suffering ended and her beautiful eternal life in God's heavenly realm began.

Vicki was born November 20, 1969, in Gary, Indiana, the daughter of John T. Cifaldi and Delores Jean Cifaldi. Vicki graduated from Valparaiso High School in 1987 and attended Don Roberts Beauty School, receiving her certificate in cosmetology. She worked as a hairdresser for many years, often doing it as a favor for friends and family. Vicki also had a great passion for tending to her herb and vegetable garden. She would then use her vegetables and herbs for her gourmet meals that she treated her family to.

In her earlier years, Vicki enjoyed traveling and experiencing various adventures throughout the country. After her travels concluded, she returned to her roots in Valpo to start a family. Her son Eric Cortez was born in 1997. Daniel Cortez was born in 2001. They loved their mom deeply and will miss helping her with her cooking and canning. Vicki was extremely close with her parents and siblings and spent her last few years living together to care for one another.

Survivors include her parents, John and Jean, her sons, Eric and Daniel, her brother, John Jr. (Jennifer) Cifaldi of Quincy, Illinois, her brother Tim of Valparaiso and her nephew, Jacob Cifaldi of Quincy, Illinois along with several aunts, uncles and cousins. She was preceded in death by her grandparents and her sister, Cheryl who she is now reunited with in Heaven.

A private service for immediate family was held.
