Vickie Schweitzer

Vickie is survived by her loving husband Michael Schweitzer and the incredible family they built together. Andrea and her husband gave Vickie ten beautiful grandchildren, Suzanna and Scott Gallagher gave her four beautiful grandchildren, Jeremiah and Laura Schweitzer gave her two beautiful grandchildren, and her last days were cherished in celebration of the marriage of her youngest daughter Rebecca to Steven Kopetzky. She is also survived by her mother Joan Jones; her siblings Karon Johnston, Kelvin (Nancy) Jones, and Harold (LaRee) Jones, Katharina Washburn, John (Marge) Schweitzer, Mary (Ron) Jurgensmeier, Josef (Merrell) Schweitzer, Anton (Leslie) Schweitzer, Beth (Kenny) Frazier; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.

Vickie Sue was born in Princeton, IN to Jack and Joan Jones on June 18, 1955. She graduated Northwood University with an Associate’s Degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management. She married Michael Schweitzer on November 12, 1982. Vickie dedicated her life to filling stomachs with delicious food, and hearts with the love of Jesus. As a homemaker she raised five strong, independent children who were the joy of her life. Her sixteen grandchildren she called her “delight” and she spent every moment loving her family.

Vickie is preceded in death by her beloved daughter Tisha Marie Schweitzer, her Daddy Jack Jones, her loving mother-in-law and mentor Elizabeth Schweitzer, her father-in-law Valentin Schweitzer, her brother-in-law Fred Johnston, and her beloved niece Jennifer Jones.

Vickie’s life was dedicated to serving and honoring God with her words and her actions. She was a devoted wife and mother. If you didn’t find her in the kitchen cooking, you’d find her doing crafts with her grandkids, delivering food to people in need, or at the kitchen table sharing coffee and scripture with a loved one. Caring for her family and her community was her greatest accomplishment. Vickie’s favorite ministries she dedicated her heart to were Homestead Bible Camp, 7:07 Campus Life, Preston Ranch Ministries, facilitating a food pantry for families in need, and being a Children’s Sunday School teacher. She truly lived her life as the hands and feet of Jesus to all that came across her path. Because of how selflessly she loved and how far that love stretched, she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
