Victoria Ellen (Tzetzu) Haupt of Hartville, Ohio, passed away Saturday, January 13, 2018 after a ten-month courageous battle with Cancer. Vicki was surrounded by her family, to whom she devoted her life.
Born July 8, 1944 in Alliance, Ohio, to the late Victor and Carmella (Aquilo) Tzetzu, she graduated from Alliance High School and attended The Ohio State University. After a brief fashion modeling career in New York City, Vicki returned to Ohio and graduated from the Cleveland Academy of Professional Secretaries and Stenographers. She worked as a Legal Assistant in Cleveland, before returning to the Stark County area. In 1962, she met her best friend, and true love of her life, Fred J. Haupt. They would have celebrated 51 years of marriage in April of this year.
Together, Vicki and Fred worked to build Fred's law practice, raised three children and devoted their lives to supporting the Stark County community through civic and charitable activities and projects. Vicki served as a Board Member of the Canton Junior Women's Club; President of Law Wives of Stark County; co-chaired, with her husband, Rainbow Club of United Way and served on various United Way committees; was appointed a Foreman of the Stark County Grand Jury; a former member of The Junior League of Canton; a former active member of Aultman Hospital's Woman's Board, where she chaired and co-chaired the Angel Auction as well as Sneak Peak; served as Executive Director of The Jackson-Belden Chamber of Commerce for 7 years and was the 2001 recipient of the Howard L. Kruman Outstanding Citizen Award; and a 45-year Member of The Congress Lake Club, where she resided for 37 years. She also loved wintering in Naples, Florida. Vicki shared her husband's passion and devotion to The University of Mount Union where she spent countless hours with her husband's fellow Trustees, their spouses, administrators, staff, faculty and students. She was a devout Purple Raider fan and often boasted that she "bled purple!"
Vicki is survived by her husband; her three children, Erika L. Haupt, Esq. of Upper Arlington, OH; Jason F. (Natalie) Haupt, Esq. of Hartville, OH; and Lindsay (Dean) Haupt Dierdorf of North Canton; and her pride and joy, her five grandchildren, William (Will) and Campbell Haupt of Hartville, Avery Haupt of Upper Arlington, and Emmerson and Isabella Johnson of North Canton.
