Vicki Brick-Zupancic, the CEO of Brick Bodies Fitness Services who was a standout McDonogh School and University of Maryland athlete, died Tuesday of ovarian cancer at her Timonium home. She was 43 and lived in Tualatin, Oregon.
“Vicki was a cherished daughter and a loving mother, wife and sister. She was an innovator, a leader and an inspiration to everyone she knew,” Brick Bodies said in a statement. “Her dedication and contribution to the Brick Bodies brand has helped shape us into the clubs you know and love today.”
The daughter of Lynne and Victor Brick, she had a four-year high school basketball career as a point guard at McDonogh. She was an All-Metro first-team selection in her freshman and sophomore years and then was the All-Metro Player of the Year in her junior and senior seasons. As a senior, she led the No. 1 Eagles to a 26-0 season and their fourth straight Association of Independent Schools championship. She left as the program’s all-time leading scorer with 1,942 points.
At the University of Maryland, Brick played four years — 2000 to 2004 — and was named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Team in each season. She averaged 5.7 points per game with 364 career assists.
The family statement also said, “Vicki loved our members. During her battle with ovarian cancer, she found joy in viewing your posts and stories and seeing the thriving community we have built together.”
Survivors include her husband of nearly eight years, Evan T. Zupancic; a daughter, Jordan A. Zupancic, both of Tualatin, Oregon; her parents, Victor and Lynne Brick, of Miami, Florida; and a brother, Jonathan Brick of New York City.
The family will receive visitors from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. April 22 at the Ruck Towson Funeral Home, 1050 York Road. A funeral Mass will be held at 11 a.m. April 23 at the Church of the Nativity, 20 E. Ridgely Road in Timonium.
