Vicki Eileen Waters, age 73, passed away peacefully on May 19, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Vicki was the cherished daughter of the late Clyde and Eva Hildred Flippin. A woman of quiet strength and remarkable intelligence, she lived a life marked by independence, compassion, and dedication to those she loved.
