Lyvia Alyse Wicker

It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of our beloved Lyvia. Lyvia Alyse Wicker passed away on December 28, 2024, born on March 6, 2017, to parents Cary and Samantha Wicker, in Hilliard, Florida.

Lyvia faced a myriad of special challenges throughout her brief 7-year life span – being one of only 18 like her in the US – she was considered a genetic unicorn in the medical community and touched many lives along the way. Those blessed enough to be part of Lyvia’s life include her brother, Layton Wicker, sister Ruby Wicker, maternal grandparents Lonnie and Sheri Thomas and paternal grandparents Cary and Denise Wicker.

The Celebration of Life was held at The Anchor Church of God, in Callahan, FL on Friday, January 3, with family and friends wearing purple and white to honor her homegoing. Pallbearers included, Bryce Carter, Caleb Cason, Joshua Cason, Ryan Ray, Zachary Thomas and Dylan Warner. She was laid to rest at Jones Cemetery, Callahan FL.

Thank you to Shepard Funeral Home for Lyvia’s funeral arrangements, Anchor Church of God for the funeral services, prayers, meals and after-service food and Callahan First Baptist Church for prayers and meals, you have truly been a blessing to our families. 

Also, for their time and gentle, compassionate care throughout Lyvia’s journey, thank you Bower Lyman Center for Medically Complex Children, Team Select Home Care, Pediatric Home Service, Option Care, Community PedsCare, Wolfson Children’s Hospital, Nemours, Chive Charities and Dreams Come True – we couldn’t have asked for a better group of people helping our precious angel meet Jesus.
