Vicki Flink, 72, passed away on Jan. 5, 2022, from her long battle with cancer. She was born Nov. 7, 1949, in Moundsville, to Margaret Hinerman and the late Verne Hinerman. She married her husband, Charles Flink, in 1971 who preceded her in death in 2006.
She always worried, was concerned for others and was there for family and friends as if she had no struggles in the world. She set an unprecedented example of strength, perseverance and acceptance as she forged ahead through many setbacks. The woman never met a stranger, and would learn in-depth details of life’s journeys for most that crossed her path. She was also famously known as a food pusher to family and especially to the doctors and nurses that took care of her during her treatments.
Vicki treasured her long career in the education system. She strived to help and serve any individual she could help learn and build a better life. She enjoyed making jewelry and attending craft shows.
Above all she loved her family. She is survived by her daughter, Lynn Flink (husband Brant Moorhead); her two grandchildren Paityn and Barrett Moorhead; sister, Pam Trydahl (husband Rick Trydahl, nephew John Trydahl and family); mother, Margaret Hinerman; Charles’s wonderful brothers, sisters and their spouses; her uncles and cousins; and multiple nieces and nephews. She especially loved her role as grandma to Paityn and Barrett, who gave her additional strength in battling her illness provided by their laughter, hugs and entertainment.
Future arrangements will be made for an outside memorial service this summer.
Donations can be made in honor of Vicki as well as the caring and remarkable doctors, nurses, aides and valet attendants at WVU Mary Babb Randolph and 9 West to the following address: Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center, P.O.
