Vicki K. Romberger

April 3, 1963 - January 6, 2022

Vicki’s passions in life were serving both as an educator and a mother. She loved to laugh and spend time with family. A graduate of Halifax Area High School, Vicki obtained a bachelor’s degree in Education from Mansfield University and her master’s degree from Millersville University. She loved her 35+ years as a Kindergarten and Pre-K teacher at Cecil County Public Schools in Maryland and frequently spoke fondly about her former students. She was honored to be the first stop on a child’s educational journey and loved serving as a positive role model and friend.

Vicki is survived by her son, Zane, of Elkton, Md., parents Larry and Barbara Koppenhaver of Halifax, Pa., grandmother Mary Koppenhaver of Millersburg, Pa., sister, Kelly S. Kuntz (Scott) of New Cumberland, Pa., and a large family of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, David, and a son, Jesse. Her family takes comfort knowing that Vicki is reunited with her husband, son and other beloved family members in heaven as she basks in the glory of God.

Vicki will be interred in a private service at Saint Luke’s United Church of Christ in Dalmatia, Pa. Family and friends will be invited to celebrate and honor Vicki’s life, as well as her husband, David’s, life on a later date when those who knew and cared for them can safely, and warmly, gather outdoors to remember the couple’s robust laughter, never-ending kindness and exceptional lives.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks memorial contributions be made to the Romberger Memorial Scholarship. Checks should be made payable to the Cecil County Public Schools Scholarship Fund and mailed to CCPS, Department of Business Services, 201 Booth St., Elkton, MD 21921. Please write “Romberger Memorial Scholarship” on the memo line of the check.

Vicki’s life and contributions will never be forgotten. American broadcast writer, Andy Rooney, once said, “Most of us end up with no more than five or six people who remember us. Teachers have thousands of people who remember them for the rest of their lives.”

Ms Romberger was the best teacher at RSES. We were so lucky to have her as my daughter’s teacher over 15 yrs ago. It was the best start my daughter could have had. Her love and support of her students was unbelievable and so much appreciated.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I am so very sorry to hear of Vicki's passing. She was one of my daughter's kindergarten teacher at Rising Sun. She was always so warm and loving. We were so happy when we found out she moved to Bainbridge after the redistricting that moved my kids there. Haley loved going to her classroom to be a helper for the other kindergarten students. She will truly be missed. I am praying for your family during this time.

Sending my sincere condolences to The Romberger Family, you are in my thoughts and prayers, my son was very blessed to have Mrs. Romberger as his Kindergarten teacher!?❤️?

Thank you for being my first and best teacher. Pre K 2001 My deepest condolences

My son had the privilege of being in her Kindergarten class ,he is 27 and still speaks fondly of her , our condolences Donna Miller

Such a sweet and beautiful lady ❤️ Heart of gold. Prayers for peace and comfort for Zane and family.

I’m so sorry!

Mrs. Romberger was my kindergarten teacher at Rising Sun Elementary. I was held back in Kindergarten meaning I got to have Mrs. Romberger two years in a row which I now view as a blessing. As a kid back then I couldn't of been more embarrassed to have been held back and was nervous that I would be made fun of. But Mrs. Romberger made sure I was comfortable and made me feel like I was more important than ever often giving me special attention and opportunities in the classroom. I look back fondly on those moments. Around 10 years later me and my good buddy went to visit her at Bainbridge when he graduated because he also had her as his kindergarten teacher and to my surprise she instantly remembered both of our names and gave us both hugs. I definitely thought because of all the kids she had taught since then she would not have remembered one face so long ago but indeed she did. She was an absolute gem of a woman and a teacher who truly cared about her students. I will never forget her and may she rest in peace.

She was a great teacher to my son at Bainbridge Elementary school.

Mrs. Romberger was one of the best Kindergarten teachers. My son and all of her students loved her. I used to volunteer in her classroom many years ago. I remember at the last day of school she had a beach party and actually had sand all over the classroom floor. There's nothing she wouldn't do to make a happy experience for her students. She was always smiling and had positive words to say to everyone. She will be missed by so many. Heaven definitely gained an angel. My condolences go out to her family. R.I.P beautiful lady.
