Vickie Drewa, 66, passed away unexpectedly on December 17, 2025. She was born on May 26, 1959, to her late parents Richard and Jeanne (Bessett) Drewa.
She was born and raised in Appleton WI. She graduated from Appleton East High School in 1977. After high school, she worked with her dad at Tuttle Press for a little bit before moving to Florida. After an accident, her family moved her back to Appleton to be close.
While Vickie was at an assisted living establishment, she lived a full life. She had friends and kept herself busy. She was the busiest person you could meet. She loved to be crafty. She would crochet, knit, do needlepoint, write poetry, read, play card games, solving word search puzzles, and telling everyone stories.
She is survived by her siblings: Rick (Nancy) Drewa, Bonnie (Patricia Anthony) Mueller, Mary Van Erem, Mark (Leah) Drewa; nieces and nephews: Joshua (Leshia) Drewa, Travis (Sara Jayne) Mueller, Steven (Sara Jo) Mueller, Jason Van Erem, Jennie (Josh) Showers, Jacob (Sara) Drewa; great nieces and nephews: Liam, Dominic, Savanah, Jessa, Jameson, Owen, and friends.
