Help Support Victoria "Vicki" Aphailee Genzel’s Family

Hello everyone, we're reaching out during one of the hardest times our family has ever faced. This past week, we lost our beloved sister, daughter, mother, friend, and colleague, Victoria “Vicki” Aphailee Genzel and baby boy Archer Atlas Aphailee far too soon. Their passing was sudden and unexpected, leaving behind a painful hole in the hearts of everyone who knew her.

Vicki was the kind of person who made everyone feel seen and loved. She had a way of lighting up a room with her beautiful smile and her kindness. She was deeply devoted to her family, especially her husband, Jeff, and their beautiful daughter, Violet. Her greatest joy was being a mother, and she poured her whole heart into raising Violet with love, laughter, and warmth.

Now, Jeff and Violet are facing an unimaginable reality without Vicki. Alongside their grief, they are left with the many practical challenges that come with such a sudden loss. We are raising funds to help cover immediate needs such as funeral and burial expenses, meals for the family, childcare, and ongoing support for Violet. A portion of these funds will also be set aside for Violet’s future, including her education and long-term care.

No amount can ever replace Vicki’s presence, but we hope to surround her family with the same love and support that she gave so freely to others. Whether it’s through a donation, sharing this campaign, or simply keeping Jeff and Violet in your thoughts and prayers, every gesture of support makes a difference.

Anything helps, and all contributions - big or small - are received with deep gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us during this heartbreaking time.
