Vicki worked 26 years with East Alabama Medical Center in insurance verification and patient registration. She was a faithful member of Providence Baptist Church in Beauregard. She served faithfully as a volunteer at the hospital after her retirement alongside her husband for a number of years. She thoroughly enjoyed being involved with the lives of her grandchildren and spent many hours at band performances, show choir competitions and baseball games. There are countless kids from these events who also called her “Gran.”
She was looking forward to a trip with other senior adults of Providence, to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum in Kentucky next month. She truly loved her Sunday School class and enjoyed being a part of their excursions and study time. Vicki had a heart for everyone, and will be deeply missed by those that knew her.
A celebration of life will be held Saturday, Aug. 19, with family receiving friends at 10 a.m. followed by the service at 11 a.m. at Providence Baptist Church West Campus. Rusty Sowell will be officiating.
In lieu of flowers, monetary donations can be made in her honor to Providence Baptist Church or the Spencer Cancer Center where she volunteered.
