Vicki Marie Gifford, 72, passed away Monday, September 14, 2020.  A private family gathering will be held to celebrate her life.

Vicki was full of life and loved her family unconditionally.  She enjoyed her retirement years traveling, gardening, cooking, volunteering, and most especially spending time with her family.  She loved trips across the country including Yellowstone National Park which was one of her favorite destinations as well as Hawaii where she adventured down Haleakala traveling on a bike.  She attended River Road Church of Christ and demonstrated daily her Christian beliefs and faith in God.  She was known as Ganny to her grandchildren, cherishing every moment in each of their lives.  Vicki ubiquitously shared family stories in order to keep the memories alive for future generations to come.  A passion she was known for throughout the family.

Vicki is survived by her son and daughter-n-law, Joel and Erin Letson; step-daughters Elizabeth Gifford (Corey Powell) and Susan Gifford; grandchildren, Eliza and Ava Gifford-Powell; Andrew, Phillip, and Nate Gifford Snyder; and Kayden-Reed Letson.

She is preceded in death by her husband Dahl Gifford; sisters, Edna Butcher and Dee Tirey; and brother, William (Joe) Goebel.
