Our loving mother passed away Friday, January 14, 2011 after a long struggle with injuries from a car accident in 2009. She was born June 30, 1969 to Tamara and Bares Sarapu.
Viktoriya grew up in Ukraine. After completing two college degrees in St. Petersburg, her first daughter Nikol was born. Two years later she moved to Egypt where she lived for five years perfecting and performing belly dance. Viktoriya then returned home to Ukraine determined to make a better life for herself and her daughter. In 2001, they moved from Ukraine to Provo, Utah where she married David Pulley. One year later she had her second precious daughter, Jessica.
Viktoriya was a resilient woman who was full of life and passion for everything she did. She was an amazing mother to her two beautiful daughters, a graceful ballerina, concert pianist, accomplished artist, actress and world famous belly dancer.
Viktoriya's life was full of happiness and heartbreak but she remained strong through it all. She was well loved and will be missed greatly.
