Who is Vicky?
Victoria A Michelis
Born in San Francisco in 1963, Vicky Michelis was a life-long California resident. She proudly identified as the granddaughter of immigrants who came from Italy early in the 1900's with pennies to their name (pic: Vicky and her beloved Nonno, Firmino Michelis). Vicky's career took many turns, culminating in 15 years at Apple. She was a woman of action known for tenacious and loving dedication to her people and her causes, strongly-held opinions, a soft spot for underdogs, & her Big Hugs.
Vicky died in 2020 after seven hard but vibrant years living with a rare variant of ovarian cancer. Her financial legacy is this fund which is dedicated to providing ongoing support for smaller US-based non-profits with a heart for helping in ways that would have been meaningful to Vicky.
