Bio - Vickie, a well-rounded individual who embraced life with a variety of passions, including cooking, camping, fishing, and road trips. Her husband, Don, fondly remembers the 8lb bass she caught at their home in Point, Texas--an achievement she displayed proudly with a mounted replica.
Vickie was also a dedicated member of the Corvette Club of Texas from 1972 until 1989, holding several offices during her active tenure. Additionally, she committed three years to managing a phone bank for the Democratic Party.
Above all, Vickie loved her family deeply. She shared unique traditions with each of her children: creating stories at roadside markers and watching Elvis’s movies with her daughter, Noel; enjoying 3 Musketeers bars and comedies with her son, Damon; and engaging in long conversations with her eldest son, Sean. She was their greatest supporter, standing by them unconditionally.
In her later years, she found joy in tending to her roses, caring for her fur babies, and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Christmas was her favorite holiday, and she loved celebrating "Christmas in July" with them. She was immensely proud of her family and offered the kind of unwavering support only a grandmother could provide.
Vickie leaves behind a legacy of love, humor, and a signature touch of sarcasm that will continue to live on in all of us.
