A native of Brewton, Alabama, Vicki is a 2008 graduate of W.S. Neal High School and earned her Associate of Applied Science in Funeral Services from Bishop State Community College in Mobile, Alabama, in 2018. She is licensed by the State of Alabama in multiple funeral service disciplines.
Vicki began her career in the funeral industry in 2017 in Mobile, Alabama, after a period of personal reflection and faith led her to her true calling—helping others through the grieving process and caring for their loved ones with compassion and dignity. Through prayer and a desire to find a community where she could make a lasting impact, Vicki felt called to join the Dunklin Funeral Home team in 2019. In 2020, she made Honoraville, Alabama, her home, where she continues to serve families with dedication, faith, and compassion. She approaches her work as a ministry, guiding families through one of life’s most difficult times with empathy, professionalism, and care.
Specializing in restorative art and embalming, Vicki takes great care to ensure every loved one is treated with respect and prepared with the utmost attention to detail. With compassion, faith, and a creative eye for detail, she helps families design personalized monuments and memorials that celebrate their loved ones’ lives and provide a lasting tribute of love and remembrance. In addition, Vicki specializes in pre-arranged funeral and cemetery sales, helping families plan ahead with confidence and peace of mind.
Her dedication to serving others reflects her Christian faith and her belief in being a light for families during their darkest moments. Outside of her professional life, Vicki enjoys spending time outdoors and finds peace in nature.
