Pastor Vicki Schleifer

          With heavy hearts and deep gratitude for a life of faith and service, we announce the passing of Pastor Vicki Marguerite Schleifer, who went home to be with the Lord and Saviour on July 10, 2025, at the age of 74.

          Born on September 10, 1950, Vicki lived a life marked by unwavering devotion to God, her family, and her community.  She served faithfully as a teacher, pastor, counselor, and spiritual mentor, touching countless lives with her wisdom, compassion, and steadfast love.  Her beautiful spirit inspired, her prayers comforted, and her presence brought peace to all who knew her.

          Vicki was married for 55 beautiful years to her best friend and beloved husband, Tony Schleifer, with whom she built a life grounded in love, faith, and partnership.  Together, they raised four children Chris (Monica), Heidi, Ben (Amy), Luke (Tiffany) and were blessed with fifteen grandchildren, Micca, Shelby, Maddison, Cecili, Tru, Isaac, Adina, Brooklynn, Logan, Shyla, Raevyn, Linkin, Willow, Maisy, and Penny, each of whom brought her immense joy and pride.  Her legacy is one of kindness, strength, and grace.  She will be remembered not only as a devoted pastor but also as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.  Her impact will continue to be felt in the hearts of those she ministered to and the communities she so deeply cherished.

          A celebration of Pastor Vicki Schleifer’s life will be held at a later date.  All will be welcome to join in honoring her memory and the remarkable life she lived.

          We thank all the caring hospice staff who looked after Vicki in her final days and a special thank you to Dr. D. Jamal.  In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to VON Sakura House, continuing Pastor Vicki’s mission of love, hope, and service.
