Vicki Lynn Leuck of Medicine Hat, passed away on Monday, October 27, 2014 at the age of 53. Beloved wife of Shane Leuck and mother of Ben Leuck and Sam Leuck, she will be dearly missed.

Vicki was an amazing woman. She wore many hats during her life, from owning a kitchen gadget store to working for Statistics Canada to cake decorating. She was also a respected avocational paleontologist. She was very proud of working with the University of Alberta alongside her husband, naming several new species of ancient, dinosaur era insects, including an ant named after her hometown of Medicine Hat, Chronomyrmex medicinehatensis. She was a BMX mom and she loved her kitties and everything cat. But most of all she loved being a mother and a wife. She took good care of her boys, both sons and husband. She is loved and missed greatly. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her name to the Whisker Rescue Society of Alberta at whiskerrescue.com.
I got to know Vicki as “one of my interviewers” with Statistics Canada.She always had a smile for everyone and was very dedicated to her job. Her penmanship was OUTSTANDING and she would always agree to act as my scribe with the flip charts we used at training.
Shane, Ben and Sam, my heart and prayers go out to you at this very trying time. A good wife and mother is never forgotten. She will live on in your hearts forever.I know she was very proud of all of you.
God Bless
