VICKI SIMS Obituary
64, of Enon passed away on Thursday, December 3, 2020. She was born in Hazard, KY, on November 4, 1956, the daughter of the late Glennis Paul and Eva Rodean (Kincer) Sims. She is preceded in death by her sister, Barbara and
her beloved Boo Boo. Vicki graduated from Greenon High School in 1974. She is survived by her daughters, Andrea, Amy and Kristina (Kricki); son, Greg; sisters, Amy and Lori; grandchildren, Dorothy and Glinda; and many family and friends in Perry and Letcher County, KY. Mom was tough, but she was many other things as well: a voracious reader, particularly of all things history-related; a pianist; defender of the underdog; teacher of manners and respect; maker of the BEST fudge; stuffer of the most unique stockings; filler of the greatest Easter baskets; teller of hilarious stories, oftentimes, telling the same ones over and over; drinker of ice cold coke in a can; lover of bluegrass music; and an expert in hours' long phone conversations. One thing we all know for certain: if you didn't want the truth, you didn't ask Vicki. I hope my grammar is perfect, mom, and I'd give anything to be held hostage in another five hour phone conversation. Memorial services will be conducted at a later date for immediate family and friends. Adkins Funeral Home, Enon, is assisting Vicki's family with her final wishes.

There will NEVER be enough space to write about mom....and all the mom stories. Mom's wit was unmatched. She was intelligent, funny, quick and sharp. She made everyone's birthday (at least those she liked, of course) seem like a national holiday. She taught me so much about life, and for these lessons I am grateful. My dogs--her grandkids--spent one of her last days with her, cuddled with her in her bed. There will never be a treat comparable to the "grandma treat" (aka Slim Jim). Despite quarrels, there has never been and never will never be another person who will always answer the phone when I call, or open the door when I come knocking. I took advantage of that, yet I'm beyond grateful at the same time. We love you. Say hello to Boo Boo and Loki.
