In Memoriam: Vicki L. Lowery (July 8, 1962 – June 13, 2022)

Vicki Lowery

Vicki Lowery was born in Apple Valley, California to Jim and Geneva Thomas. They lived in Big Bear Lake, California until moving to Silverton, Oregon in 1974. She graduated from Silverton High School, class of 1981. 

She was Mom to Michelle (Charlie) Rodriguez and Emily (Logan) Williamson, but her favorite role was Grandma to Ayasha, and soon-to-be-born Koda. 

Vicki was a wonderful free spirit and loved to create. She crafted whimsical artwork for her family and friends that will be cherished. 

She loved trips to the ocean, tea parties, working in her yard, and concerts. Always dreaming of the Jimmy Buffet lifestyle, she was rock & roll with a little bit of country. Vicki was always up for an adventure and was a loyal friend. She was a protector of the underdog and had huge compassion for those hurting. 

Vicki wore many hats while working with Benedictine Nursing Center for more than 20 years. She was a delivery driver for NAPA Auto Parts, a phlebotomist with Chemawa Indian School and most recently, the
Red Cross of Oregon. Her battle with leukemia (AML) forced her to retire in 2021. 

She left a huge hole for all who had the pleasure of having Vicki as part of their lives. She will be missed. 

At her request she was laid to rest in a private service.
