Vickie was the second of eight siblings whose strong bond remained a cornerstone of her life. From an early age, she was known for her kind heart, gentle spirit, and unwavering dedication to those she loved. She and her sisters raised their children together, went on many family vacations together, and prayed together. In their retirement years, they traveled all over the US attending bowling tournaments, visiting various different states, and making memories.
Vickie shared a beautiful life with her husband of 64 years, Loren Brewer, with whom she built a home rooted in love, faith, and family. Together they raised five children instilling in them a strong Catholic faith, and the values of compassion, integrity, and resilience. Her greatest joy came from being a mother and nurturing her children with patience, guidance, and care.
Her family continued to grow, and Vickie embraced her role as a grandmother to twelve grandchildren and a great-grandmother to four. She took pride in birthdays, graduations, and milestones, and her presence was a constant source of warmth and comfort to her family.
A devoted member of the Catholic Church, Vickie lived her faith daily. She found strength and peace in prayer, and her life was a reflection of the Church’s teachings—charity, humility, forgiveness, and service. Whether attending Mass, praying the rosary, or volunteering in her parish community, her devotion never wavered. Some of the roles she filled was as a member of the Catholic Daughters, a catechist, a member of St. Vincent DePaul, a parish council member, and an office volunteer. Her faith was the quiet, guiding light behind all that she did.
Giving was the theme of her life in her work as well. She taught GED classes as well as ESL classes through the Education Region Center in Huntsville. In the 80’s she assisted immigrants through the amnesty program to apply for citizenship. She was very proud of her work helping adults improve their lives through education.
She had many pastimes including bowling, reading, playing card and board games, and quilting. Her quilting skills were amazing, and she used those skills to make quilts for other both family and the sick. Those who knew Vickie will remember her not only for her unwavering love and selflessness, but also for the quiet strength and grace with which she lived her life. Her home was always open, her table always full, and her heart always welcoming.
She is survived by her beloved husband Loren, her children Rebecca, Laurie, Thomas, Robert, and Mark, her seven siblings, twelve grandchildren, and her four great-grandchildren. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, family, and love that will continue to bless all who knew her.
