Vicky Carpenter Obituary

CARPENTER Vicky (Dunn) Vicky Carpenter (Dunn), age 37, passed away September 2nd, 2008, in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. She was born December 17, 1970, in Toledo, OH to Linda (Fisher) and Larry Dunn. Her mother passed away of Lymphoma in 1989. This prompted Vicky to make a career in radiation therapy, so cancer patients could see at least one smiling face in their time of need. She loved adventure and made her home in Arizona and Florida. She enjoyed yoga, hiking, the ocean, and her family and friends. She also volunteered for various animal shelters. She was preceded in death by her mom and busia, Florence Blase. Her memory will be kept alive by her father, Larry (Sue) Dunn; brother, Mike (Christina) Dunn; nephew, David Dunn; dzia-dzia, Robert Blase Sr.; special aunt, Ginger Krajewski; special cousin, Robert Blase III, and many more relatives and friends. Her cremains will be scattered with her busia and her mother at a later date. We will love you always, Vicky!

To hear about the loss of Vicky is very heartbreaking. We were very close childhood friends and though we have not spoken in many years I
will always remember the silly things that we use to do together, which are to many to count. My deepest sympathy to the Family.

I was devastated to see her picture in the obituary. Over the years I had lost contact with her but had always hoped I would see her again.I will forever treasure my memories and was blessed to have called her my friend. My chidhood was filled with laughter and joy because of our friendship. My heartfelt sympathy goes to the family for their tragic loss.

I am very sorry to hear of this loss. Although we had lost contact over the recent years, I always thought I'd hear from Vicky in a visit back to Toledo to get together. Your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers.
