The beautiful and talented Ronnie Vickers passed away last night peacefully with family at Royal Perth Hosptial at 7.30pm.

Ronnie's friends go far and wide throughout WA community theatre.  She will be deeply missed by all. Thankfully Ronnie is not suffering anymore. I can just picture her reciting one of her poems to all and sundry upstairs.
It is quite fitting that her last performance on stage was "It's My Party, and I'll Die If I Want To" at Garrick Theatre earlier this year. Gonna miss ya mum... xoxoxox

Feel free to post your memories and thoughts of Ronnie here.

I only met Ronnie in January of this year. She became an important part of the intrepid 'Fully SYC' comedy cabaret team that unfortunately never got off the ground for various reasons. Nevertheless, her 'Young Albert down Under', 'Why Am I Always a Bridesmaid' and 'The Cattle Dog's Revenge' were legendary, as was her 'Sad Saga of Sonia Snell'. It is some comfort to know that I saw her in her last performance at Garrick and almost died laughing. I became aware shortly afterwards that she was seriously ill and it makes me wonder how long she had been spending her time making others laugh while knowing that she had so little of it left. Ms Vickers, we of MacDougall's Piper's Flat Cricket Team salute you. Ssstinger>>>
