Victoria DeVore

It is with much sadness that I send sympathies to Vicki´s family during this very difficult loss.
We worked at sfgh for years where she was a great nurse who cared, was patient and kept a good sense of humor. She kept her cool in both calm and turbulent times. She inspired me to work my best and was a friend.
Rest in peace dear Vicki
We will all be better for having known you.
Wishing your family peace.

Sending love and prayers to family and friends of this remarkable woman. We worked trauma together at The General in the 80´s. She never lost her cool or her compassion. Simply the Best! It happens I was with my current team at ENA in New Orleans when I heard she left us to continue her journey. We raised our glasses high and wished her well. I´m always so grateful when the memories and love stay with us! May God hold you in the palm of his hand until we meet again! ~Laura

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of my "Vickster" aka "Fireball"(she loved fireball jaw breakers). We worked together in the ED for many years and she was always such an example to everyone on how great nursing care should look. Everyone loved and respected her dearly. Her compassionate nature and fun loving spirit will truly be missed. My prayers are with your family.

I will always remember the fun we had golfing. You are dearly missed, my friend.

You were my mentor and colleague in the ED...You always had my back. ( "partners in crime"). We swam and raised our kids together. Most importantly we were best friends, together, for so many years. I love you, Vicki, now, and will continue to love you, always. You will be missed

Hard to believe Vicki´s no longer with us. She will be missed. I worked with her in the ER. She was a great nurse and coworker. She made everything look easy and always had a great sense of humor. I´m sure she will be watching over your family from above.

So sorry to hear about Vickie. She was a joy to know both at work at SFGH and as a friend.

Sending condolences to the entire family. I am so sadden to hear the recent passing. I know Vicki from Millbrae, we raised our children (Charlie & Sara) together and often dined together with other Moms. I cherish the friendship we shared. Her spirit and love will continue to live in all she met.

My Heartfelt Sympathy to Vickie´s family. So sad to hear of her passing.

I have fond memories of working with Vicki in the ED. She always had a good sense of humor and she was a wonderful mentor.
May she rest in peace

Vicki was so kind and supportive when my husband was having a heart & lung transplant this past year. She was an amazing woman and her support, caring and love will always stay with me. Soar high with the angels Vicki. Sending my condolences to the family

I met Vicki just this summer golfing at Genoa Lakes. Such a wonderful, kind and beautiful woman. I was hoping to get to know her better. She lived an amazing and inspiring life. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

To Rob and all the family of Vicki, I was saddened to read of Vicki´s passing. I was a member of the Mogan family who lived next-door to your family in Lincoln Village on Yarmouth Lane in Columbus, Ohio. You all were a big part of my teenage years there. I was on the Liveco swim team but not nearly as athletic in the sport as you were. Still, there are a lot of good memories. May Vicki rest in peace, and God´s blessings to you all.

Sending my love to Vicki`s family. For a time theDeVore family lived next-door to my family in Lincoln Village on Yarmouth Lane. That was when she was in her competitive swimming peak. I have fond memories of Vicki. May she rest in peace.

I was so saddened and shocked to hear about Vicki´s passing! We played softball and golf together for many years! She was so much fun to be around! She will be missed! So sorry Jeff, Sara and the rest of your family!

Knowing Vicki through golf was probably like knowing her in any endeavor. Always wearing her signature shorts regardless of the temps, she exuded a uniquely infectious humor. And if you were fortunate enough to be paired with her you were treated to her upbeat personality, as well as a cookie or two.
Absolutely the last person one expected to have a stroke, there must have been an urgent need for this wonderfully special lady to don her wings and spread her cheer in another sphere. But we'll sure miss her around here.

To all who knew her Vicki was a force of nature. We watched in amazement as she would swim and swim and keep swimming in the early mornings at Sand Harbor Beach of Lake Tahoe. She would come out of the water smiling with all of her heart and soul. Her joyful spirit was contagious and lifted all those around her. A gem of a human being and gone too soon Vicki will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my friend.

I am sad and a bit in shock at this news of Vicki's passing. I loved hanging out with Vicki even though it was only once a year in Tahoe, I always looked forward to hearing about the year. I would always check in with her a week or so before the Tahoe vacation that we all went on every year. Same week, same people same place every year Sand Harbor, NV. It was always fun connecting. I would check in to make sure she would be there so we could catch up on the beach. So many stories, so many laughs, tears shared from the last 30 or so years. We went river rafting once also during the summer with Lisa, we had so much fun! She was truly one of those people that everyone wanted to be around. I will miss you, but every summer when I swim out to the buoys at Sand Harbor I will be thinking of you. Ralph & AW will miss the hot dog & beers & cheers you so happily provided at the turn for the golf tournaments, but mostly we will miss YOU... Cheers and love, Kimmy, Ralph-A-Roo and AW.

I met Vicki in San Francisco playing softball in the late 70´s and have been friends ever since. So many memories and lots of laughs. Condolences to the Devore and Rice family, and especially Jeff. Liz Kriessmann McDonnell

I am grateful to had been able to reconnect with Vicky over the past few years via facebook. I was so excited when she moved to our neighborhood in 1963 as her reputation as an outstanding swimmer preceded her move. She was an inspiration her entire life in all of her pursuits. My deepest sympathy to her family during this time of loss.

I am grateful to know have known you, Vicki. I will miss my favorite golfing buddy. Thank you for your light.

Vicki DeVore was truely one of a kind. Her spirit was so totally capable of lifting all others she gave such love and kindness one could not help but to enjoy life! I had the pleasure of being the ADPi active active in charge of her pledge class. What a delight it was getting to know her. I am grateful beyond words to have had so many wonderful experiences with her!
Rest in peace, Vicki knowing you had such a grand influence on many you crossed paths with in your life! Much love my ADPi sister and buddy!

Vicki will be so missed by so many people. I worked with Vicki in Lexington and then moved to Dallas a year after she did!! Vicki, Sarah Jane and I had some amazing times the 2 years we were roommates! I reconnected with her several years ago and it was like we saw each other everyday!! I also got to meet her Sara and saw how close they were!! I never met her grandchildren but as I followed Sara on FB I saw how much she loved them, and how much they loved her!! She was a special person. My heart is very heavy with this news.

Vicki was by far one of the best nurses at SFGH. Vicki always made everything better with her smile and high energy, no matter how bad the day seemed.
I loved watching her with her grandchildren thru her videos. So many hearts broken with this news.
Rest in peace Vicki

Remembering and Honoring Vicki we all will miss her dearly as she brought laughter and smiles everywhere she went. Condolences to family love you all Dan Mary Thomas and Jack ... the Thanksgiving gravy story that never died so many cherished memories.
