Our remarkable wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, Vickie Romer Anderson, was called home on the morning of October 28th, 2014. She passed away peacefully in her sleep.
Vickie was born on June 2nd, 1951, in Tremonton, Utah, to Merlin J. and Margrette Marble Romer. She grew up on a farm in Elwood, Utah and met her eternal companion, Garth, while still attending Bear River High school. She graduated from Holy Cross School of Nursing in 1972 and has lived a life of service both in and out of the nursing field.
Vickie has achieved many accomplishments in her 63 years of life here on earth. While she was successful as an infection control nurse for Intermountain Healthcare, she counted her greatest accomplishments to be the relationships she built amongst family and friends. She made it a point to build a positive relationship with everyone she interacted with every day of her life. This was one of her most evident gifts.
She had a deep love for the Savior, Jesus Christ. Her service to, and faith in, the Lord was evident in her daily interactions with others. She enjoyed more than 14 years at rough camp, service within the relief society, youth programs, charity events, and most recently working with the young single adults within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She has touched and influenced many through her simple gift of charity towards everyone.
Vickie is survived by her husband, Garth; three children, Amy (Blake) Wagner, Jeff (Emily) Anderson, and Tamie (Nate) Bateman; five grandchildren; Molly, McCord, Marin, Cameron, and Callie; her sisters: Lola (Tip) Ravsten, Linda (Buck) Condor, Merle Romer, and Iva Owen. Proceeded in death by her sister Mary Ann Anderson.
