Vicki began her service when GLIDE was one organization, church and foundation held together by a shared mission and shared breath.
When GLIDE evolved, when the church and the GLIDE Foundation became distinct expressions of the same calling, Vicki transitioned with grace, integrity, and deep institutional wisdom.
Very few people hold that kind of history.
Fewer still hold it with generosity.
In more recent years, she continued her faithful service through Glide's transitions of our co-founders and our organization, offering steadiness, continuity, and institutional memory during seasons of growth and change.
Her ability to bridge errors, leaders, and structures has been a quiet but essential gift to Glide's ongoing life.
Her title never fully captured her contribution.
Vicki was not simply an office manager.
She was a board organizer, a curator, an historian, an event planner, a designer, a sustenance provider, and keeper of culture.
She made it possible for ministries to function, for celebrations to unfold, and for GLIDE to remain rooted, even as the city around it changed.
She welcomed thousands, I would even say hundreds of thousands, congregants, neighbors, volunteers, and seekers with patience, clarity, and a spirit that embodied Glide's values long before those values were written down.
Vicki also found her love at Glide.
She and her late husband, David Richmond, himself a formative leader in Glide's early years, were married not only to one another but to the mission they served together.
Their shared devotion reminds us that institutions are ultimately sustained by relationships and not structure alone.
Vicki has often been called the glue, but that word is too small.
Glue suggests something silent and burdened.
Vicki has been the heartbeat, steady, compassionate, and strong.
She reminds us that care is infrastructure.
Memory is civic labor and love.
Practice daily is a good public good.
