Vickie Lynn Sanders

Vickie Lynn Sanders, 70, formerly of Wabash, Indiana, died at 7:33 pm, Monday, November 6, 2017 at Peabody Healthcare Center in North Manchester. She was born June 15, 1947 in Van Lear, Kentucky to Hobert Young and Eva E. (Brickley) Wilson.

Vickie was a graduate of Wabash High School and a member of Wabash Church of the Nazarene. She retired from Home Hospital in Lafayette, Indiana, where her favorite way of serving was working with surgical staff to make sure surgery rooms were clean and ready for use. Outside of work she loved showering her family and friends with good food and great hospitality. To the friends she met along the way, she was a giver of gifts and a kind and gentle lady who would listen for hours. To her children she was the Mom that laughed, cried, comforted, celebrated, and supported their journey. To her grandchildren she was the sweet, quiet, caring spirit that did everything possible to make them happy – she made us all very happy.

She is survived by her two children Allen Helms of LeRoy, Illinois and DeeDee (Jeff) Dutton of Lafayette; six grandchildren Grace Helms, David Helms, and Katherine Helms, all of LeRoy, Haleigh Dutton, Sydney Dutton, and Alleigh Dutton and great-grandchild, Kaizlynn Dutton, all of Lafayette; her siblings, Linda Neal of Wabash, and Charles (Stella) Young of Paintsville, Kentucky. She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother, Paul Young.
