Victoria Paige "Tori" Francis

Victoria Paige “Tori” Francis, 33, of Fort Pierce, Florida, passed away on September 3, 2025, in Stuart, Florida.

Born and raised in Fort Pierce, Tori was a lifelong resident of the community she loved. She attended Fort Pierce Central High School and went on to study at the University of Miami. Dedicated and passionate about her work, she was employed by Florida Vision Institute as a Clinical Implementation Specialist and was actively involved in many organizations within the eye care industry. She also worked as a consultant for several businesses in the same field, where she was known for her professionalism, commitment, and care.

Above all, Tori’s greatest joy was being a mother. Her son, Luca, was the center of her world, and she treasured every moment spent with him. She also found happiness in time shared with her family, friends, and loved ones, who will forever remember her vibrant spirit, generosity, and devotion.

Survivors include her beloved son, Luca Nowacki, and his father, Bradley, of Port St. Lucie; her parents, Robert and Robin Francis of Fort Pierce; her brothers, Daver Francis of Charlotte, NC, and Robert Linville of Daytona, FL; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Woody and Bonnie Smith, Arnold and Sandra Francis, and Beverly Jarvis.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date to honor Tori’s memory.
