Jeff, Pat and Lou Ann, I share your grief on the loss of your wife, sister and friend. I only knew VIcki for a short time but she made a hug impression on me and I loved having her as my friend. Her attitude was remarkable. I saw how much she loved you all and how hard she worked to spare you of problems and concerns when she would be released from all earthly care and spend eternity with God. Even though my time with Vicki was short, I will remember her for a long time. Her attitude and love for you all was very uplifting. Love, Bettie Nixon

I have such fond memories of Vicki. When I think of her, I smile. She was a very positive, happy and caring person. I knew Vicki from working at the City of Beaumont and I retired in 2015 so our paths no longer crossed. Vicki will be missed but now she is home and no longer in pain. God bless her soul. ♥️

Jeff and Vicki have been wonderful neighbors, that kept a beautiful yard of plants as well as care for their pet family. Vicki was very kind and sometimes in her travels would bring by peaches from Georgia. Her bright eyes and caring way will be missed. Certainly, our prayers are with Jeff, her family, and all who loved her. Love, Laura, Walter, & children.
