It is with heavy hearts and fond memories that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Vicki Schnell Gloor, 82, who left us on March 13, 2025. Born on Oct. 9, 1942, she was a vibrant force of nature with a spirit that could light up any room. Her passion for life was contagious, and her love for her family immeasurable.
Known for her spunky personality and playful sense of humor, she made everyone feel welcome. Whether it was hosting family game nights, planning epic holiday gatherings, or simply sharing a laugh, she never missed a chance to make life a little more fun. She was the first to start a game, encourage friendly competition, and celebrate every win with enthusiasm, big or small.
In her professional life, she channeled the same enthusiasm and energy into multiple careers. She taught English and French at Cranbrook School in Michigan and worked in television production on shows such as The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Tonight Show and Sun Up San Diego.
She cherished every moment with her children, grandchildren, and extended family, creating lifelong memories. Her home was always filled with warmth, love, and the constant hum of joy.
She will be dearly missed by her family, friends, and anyone lucky enough to have known her. While she may no longer be with us, the games, laughter, and family bonds she built will live on forever. We love you, Mom. You were truly one of a kind.
