Vicki Joy (Trout) Felton was born February 10th, 1944 in Richmond, Ca. to Earl and Reeta (Ferguson) Trout. She had one sibling, her older brother Jerry Mac. Their childhood years were spent growing up in Oklahoma and Louisiana. She resided in Oklahoma her entire adult life. Vicki went to her Heavenly home on April 3, 2020 due to complications associated with Covid 19.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents,
her parents Earl and Reeta Trout,
her husband Aubrey Felton, a grandson Dustin Thomas
and a niece Jessica Hanna.
She is Survived by great grandson Landyn Rogers, of the home (whom she was raising), son Brett Rogers, daughter Shandi and husband Jay Williams, granddaughter Kori Jarman and fiance' Chris Galarneau, and grandson Jerad Rogers all of Norman, grandsons Haven Slippey, Montana Brantley and Bela Szabo all of Moore, great grandchildren Hanna Rogers of Tonkawa, Jude and Jade Thomas of Texas, brother Jerry Trout and wife Patsy Ann of Louisiana, nephew Chris Trout and wife Tuwana of Kansas, niece Kelley and husband Andy Foster of Texas,
cousin Dixie "Dixlie" and husband Brian Deaton of Dibble, best friend Bess "Bessford" and husband Jim Frost of Norman and a multitude of other very special family and friends.
In Vicki's early career she was a hairdresser (as it was called then). She did this for about 20 years where she made many special and lasting friendships.
In 1980 she decided to change her career path and go to nursing school. Besides her children and grandchildren nursing was her most cherished accomplishment. While attending school she became employed by Norman Municipal Hospital (now Norman Regional). She continued to work at the hospital until 1983 at which time she was asked by Dr. Hal Belknap to become his clinic nurse.
Vicki became a clinic nurse in 1983 at Internal Medicine Associates which later became Norman Clinic (now Mercy Clinic) where she was employed by Dr.B (as he was lovingly called) until his passing in 2008. The two of them were quite the team, taking care of half of Norman. Dr. Belknap was her best friend and her biggest inspiration. She was an amazing and caring nurse, earning the name "Dr. Poodlam" from her patients and colleagues. She was also involved in Dr. B's medical scouts, meeting many incredible young people that she still kept in touch with. She loved what she did and she was honestly excited to go to work every day. She retired shortly after Dr.B passed away, saying it would just never be the same. She still had patients, family and friends that called on her when they were feeling ill to get her advice regarding what they should do. Through all her years at the clinic she made many lifelong friendships.
In 1996, Vicki married the love of her life, Aubrey Felton. The two of them loved camping and fishing with family and friends. She loved "functions" as the family calls it when they all get together. The more people the better she liked it. She loved to cook and she didn't know how to cook small portions, she cooked for an army. Her favorite holiday was 4th of July and she loved to decorate, have lots of fireworks and lots of food. She would invite many friends, along with family and they would have a big "function!"
She loved her grand children, each of them have their own memories and "secrets" with their "Meme" that were just between them, never to be told. She often made her children anxious and sometimes upset because of the shenanigans she and the grandchildren would get into. There are other family members and friends that have many of these same kinds of memories and "secrets" with her.
Vicki had a unique way of making every relationship special, not only to her but to the person with whom she formed that bond. She had a twisted sense of humor, if you really knew her than you knew this about her. She was known for saying exactly what she was thinking, sometimes being very colorful as her daughter likes to say.
Oh and, there was no filter...she simply did not have one. If you didn't really want to know her honest opinion then you probably shouldn't ask. She may or may not have been known to be a bit bossy. Hopefully we will all continue to hear her bossy little self telling us how and why we need to do things her way. Because unless it was her idea it just wasn't a good one.
All of this and so much more is why she will be missed.
There will only be one Mom, Meme, Aunt Vicki, Micki and sister like Vicki Felton!
She will be loved, missed and thought of every day!
