Vicky Lynn Meade was born to Charles and Shirley Craig on February 18, 1958, in Abilene, TX. They moved around quite a bit, but Vicky graduated high school in Oklahoma City. After graduation, she attended beauty school in Oklahoma. Later on, she opened her own beauty shop in Oklahoma. She met her husband, Tim, online before people met online on dating websites. Eventually, on June 28, 2000, Tim and Vicky married in Sioux Falls. Vicky worked as a school bus driver in Sioux Falls for ten years.
Vicky loved her rottweilers, loved watching her shows, and Netflix series. She also liked to go “Off Roading” in her Subarus. Tim and Vicky spent their honeymoon at a Subaru convention on the West Coast. Her favorite thing to do was to spend time with Tim while they went shopping, antiquing, and browsing. She really enjoyed watching monkeys and wildlife videos on YouTube. She was known to hold to her opinions devoutly.
Vicky is survived by her husband of 23 years, Tim; granddaughters, Emma, Grace, and Kira; brother, Barry (Kathy) Harper, Oklahoma City; and nieces and nephews, Ashlee, Ryan, Jarred, Catherine, and David.
She is preceded in death by her parents; one sister, Darla; one brother, David; and granddaughter, Katie.
Tim and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. The world has lost a wonderful friend and animal lover. When I met Vicky, she and I connected immediately with our love for Rotties and all other animals. Her heart is bigger than the world. Our friendship continued over the years and I am honored to have known her kind heart, enjoyed her fun loving attitude, and her loving nature. Rest peacefully friend. And tell all the pups hello.
I am so sorry to hear about Vicky’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you Tim and all who were touched by Vicky’s life. Scripture that has helped me with the loss of my wife is Proverbs 3:5&6. May God comfort you in this time of grief and help guide you along the path ahead. Trust in Him!
Vicky was an amazing woman. Her heart was pure gold. I am grateful for the short time we had together. Tim you are a fantastic husband. I’m so sorry for your loss. I will never forget her and the sweet time we had together.
