Hi everyone,

With profound sadness, we share that Victoria “Vicki” Prunetti Roman passed away suddenly while traveling out of state to visit friends. Vicki was a cheerful, bright light—someone who made people feel seen, loved, and welcomed. Her warmth, humor, and kindness touched so many lives.

Vicki leaves behind her husband, Rob Roman, who is now grieving his best friend while arranging a celebration worthy of the love she gave so freely.

Why we’re fundraising:

This GoFundMe will help Rob cover the costs of Vicki’s celebration of life and service. Your support will ensure her memorial reflects the joy, dignity, and generosity that defined her.

Any amount—large or small—will make a meaningful difference and ease the financial burden during this heartbreaking time.

How you can help:

Donate if you’re able.

Share this fundraiser with friends, family, and community groups.

Leave a memory or words of support for Rob—your stories of Vicki will be treasured.

Thank you for helping us honor Vicki with dignity, joy, and love. On behalf of Rob and all who loved her: we are deeply grateful.

With love and appreciation from

Summer Elsey & Vivian Straus-Gehring on behalf of Rob Roman
