Vickie Lynn Kissack (1951-2017)

          Vickie Lynn Kissack, age 65, a resident of Racine passed away on January 23^rd, 2017 at her home, surrounded by people who loved her.

          Vickie was born in Watseka IL on August 5^th, 1951, the daughter of Francis and Doris (Webster) Kissack. She was educated in the schools of Channahon and Minooka IL and worked as a caregiver at Iroquois Memorial Hospital. She moved to Racine five years ago, to be closer to her beloved family and worked for several years at Home Instead as a home health provider.

          Vickie was an extremely hard worker, sometimes holding several jobs when her children were young. Her kind and loving nature, as well as the way she sacrificed herself for others made her a sought-after caregiver and a joy to her family.

          Spending time with her grandchildren, making big meals for her family and staying connected on Facebook were her favorite past times. She also enjoyed reading and staying active in the lives of her kids and grandkids, as well as her many nieces and nephews.

          Vickie will be dearly missed by her daughters Stacy (Mike Moriarity) Kincade and Mandy (Boyd) Becker, her father Francis Kissack and her fiancé Earl Brotherton. She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren Cain Hamilton, Mercedes Laird, Andon Long, Sydnee Long and Colt Becker, her brother Steve (Dana) Kissack and her sisters Diane (Roger) Wall, Peggy Pritchard, Dawn Kissack and Carla (Mike) McCabe.

          Preceding Vickie in death were her mother Doris Kissack, her brother Bruce Kissack and her stepmother Delores Kissack.
