Vikky Alison Manning

Vikky was, without a doubt, one of life’s unicorns, a rare, unique, and beautiful person, whose spirit was as wild as it was gentle, as courageous as it was kind. Vikky touched the hearts of everyone who knew her and leaves behind an abundance of wonderful memories. Vikky’s garden was her sanctuary, a place she loved, a place of peace and beauty.

The sea, the moon and the sunsets were all moments of enjoyment for Vik, and she would often seek out beautiful places where her free spirit could roam and reflect.

Professionally, Vikky was a remarkable Carer, she didn’t just do a job, she lived her passion. She gave herself fully, always putting others before herself, making sure everyone she cared for felt loved, safe, and understood and she did it with compassion that knew no bounds.

She faced her own life’s challenges head-on, with an energy and resourcefulness that left us in awe. She took on every task, every obstacle, with a fierce heart and a smile on her face.

Her strength and bravery were evident in every obstacle she faced, and her stubbornness was a testament to her unwavering spirit.

She was a force to be reckoned with, a beautiful contradiction of softness and resilience. Her quirks and independence made her a unique and cherished presence in all our lives. Her love for the moon, the stars, her garden and the ocean waves were a reflection of her deep appreciation for the beauty in life's simple pleasures.

Vikky really was the epitome of kindness and selflessness, a friend who gave so much of herself to others. She showed up, without hesitation, without condition, and always with love.

Vikky was crazy, beautiful, courageous, wild, and free spirited. Someone who lived life on her own terms, often contrary but always with a heart full of love and a soul full of adventure. In those quiet moments when we miss her the most, we can look for Vikky in the natural beauty of the world around us. We’ll find her in the stars above, in the colours of a rainbow, in the soothing sounds of the sea, or in the rustling of leaves in the trees. Whenever we look up to the night sky, we know there is a new bright, shiny star up there now, we’ll see her light shining down reminding us of the happiness, love, and laughter she brought into our lives.

Vikky you were a beautiful person, you will forever be remembered with affection and admiration. You were simply ‘all heart,’ and you shared that heart with everyone you loved. Fly high Vik, and may you find peace amongst the stars, in the beauty of every blooming flower and serenity in the ocean waves you so loved.

Stay wild Vikk, stay free, we love you.
