Vicki Lynn Lervick, 46, of Stanwood, Wash., died suddenly Monday, July 30, 2007, in the Columbia River, while trying to save another persons life.
Born Sept. 13, 1960, in Seattle, Wash., Vicki was the forth child of Edward and Joyce Hampton. She grew up in the Fauntleroy area of West Seattle and graduated from Chief Sealth High School in 1979.
Vicki was enthusiastic and passionate about all her endeavors. She was a real estate entrepreneur and loved buying property, giving the place the Vicki touch. In the summer, Vicki could be found gracefully laying down spray as she snaked through the buoys in a water ski course or teaching someone else to ski. Winter would find her on the ski slopes. Her life-long love for horses led her to be very active in the equestrian community.
She met Michael O. Lervick and married him on May 24, 1998.
Vicki is survived by her husband Michael; daughter, Amy Mandin; sons, Karl and Paul; mother, Joyce Hampton; brother, Mark Hampton, all of Stanwood. Also her sisters, Gayle Leberg (Walt) of Mill Creek and Kristi Murti (Ben) of San Mateo, Calif.; father-in-law and mother-in-law Roger and Linda Lervick of Stanwood; and a very large extended family on the Hampton side and on the Lervick side.
There will be a Celebration of her Life held on Sunday, Aug. 19, 2007, at the family home in the Kayak Point area from 1 – 4 p.m. The family web site for questions and directions is at http://vicki.polychrome.us.
