Vicki Sack

Vicki Sack, born Vicki Deborah Cohen, beloved wife of the late Alan and cherished mother of Scott and Stuart, passed away surrounded by love and memories that will live on forever. Born in 1944, she was the devoted daughter of Irene Cohen, a homemaker, and Sydney Cohen, a hardworking businessman who owned butcher shops.

She grew up in the Mattapan, Dorchester, and Roxbury neighborhoods of Boston, where she built lifelong bonds. Most of her adult life was spent as a resident of Newton where she raised her family and was close with her friends. Including remaining close with her best friend Nancy, who remained by her side through every chapter of life. A gifted student, Vicki earned a scholarship to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where her love for creativity and design first took root.

One of her greatest passions was her business. As the proud owner of Subs N’Such in Boston, Vicki poured her heart into serving her community. After becoming a young widow, she courageously carried on running the shop until deciding to close it and begin a new chapter. She went on to excel as one of the top salespeople of luxury goods and jewelry, building relationships as sparkling as the pieces she sold.

Later in life, Vicki embraced retirement by rediscovering her first love—art. She designed countless one-of-a-kind jewelry and home décor creations, each piece carrying her signature flair and creativity. She lived by her guiding motto: “You can’t go wrong if you do the right thing.”

Vicki was more than a mother to her own children, she was “Mom” to friends, employees, cousins, and anyone lucky enough to be embraced by her warmth. Her generous spirit extended even further to her beloved fur babies—Maxx, Cydney, Hank, Braxton, Parker, Zachary and Lenni —who brought her endless joy.

Her life was a masterpiece of giving and love. She will be remembered for her strength, her sparkle, and her unwavering belief in doing right by others.
