On Friday November 13, 2020 Vicky Ann Downing, devoted wife, mother, and friend triumphantly entered through the gates of heaven into the loving embrace of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Vicky was born January 11, 1953 in Provo, Utah to Douglas and Minnie Johnson. She graduated from Provo High School in 1971 and attended Ricks College for a brief period. Vicky joined the United States Navy Reserve in 1973 and served as a Navy Hospital Corpsman. She was Honorably discharged in February 1979 and was immensely proud of her service to the Navy and the United States. Vicky had many occupations over the years however her most treasured title was that of wife and mother.
On July 31, 1982 Vicky married Kenneth Downing in Jerome, Idaho. From that union was one son, Ethan of whom she is extremely proud. An incredibly special place in Vicky’s heart was held for her dear friend and sister in Christ, Marie Keefer. Vicky loved Sarah Frazier as her own daughter and their bond is unbreakable. Vicky’s heart was full with the addition of Caleb and Molly Frazier that she loves unconditionally as her own grandchildren. Vicky’s passion was simply loving others. She loved to give gifts especially at Christmas that generated countless smiles, laughs and memories. She was very talented at flower arrangements that will grace the living rooms of friends and family for many years to come. She is known for her contagious smile, giving heart and love of Hallmark Christmas movies and maybe a slightly sarcastic remark sprinkled in for fun.
Vicky was preceded in her earthly separation by her father Doug, brother Kent, and sister Judy.
She is survived by her husband Ken and son Ethan, mother Minnie Johnson of Provo, Utah and brother Wayne Johnson also of Provo, Utah.
