Vicki Wilson Obituary
Vicki Hartzell Wilson, loving wife, beautiful mom and grandmother, and caring friend, passed into the arms of the Lord on the morning of February 16, 2024.
She was born in Atlanta, GA, and grew up in Albuquerque, NM, where she met her husband, Lynn. They moved to Sunnyvale, CA, to start their family before returning to Albuquerque in 1979.
Vicki was an avid cook and enjoyed sewing. She enjoyed playing party bridge with her Alpha Chi Omega sorority sisters. Her true passion was training dogs. She trained Shelties, Tibetan Spaniels and Malinois and achieved numerous obedience titles including the only UDX ever on a Tibbie. In addition, she showed her dogs and friends' dogs in confirmation earning many titles. Vicki was a member of Sandia Dog Obedience Club since 1986, and regularly taught training classes.
She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Marjorie and Victor Hartzell. She will be greatly missed by her husband of 56 years, Lynn; sons, David (Carla) and Daniel (Marcea); grandchildren, Benjamin (Viktorija), Peter, Ashley, Joshua, Noah, and Sara; and her many friends.
A memorial service will be held at FRENCH - Wyoming on Saturday March 9th, 2024 at 2pm. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to Parkinson's Disease research or to Sandia Dog Obedience Club, PO Box 93053, Albuquerque, NM 87199. Please visit our online guestbook for Vicki at

I am so sorry that Vicki passed. She had a difficult time in her later years and totally was the definition of 'Grace under Fire." I will always hold her in the highest esteem for how she presented herself. I met her in college days; she was always so nice, so helpful. My condolences go to her family and the dear Grandchildren she always spoke of.

Vicki was a fun and dear person and classmate at HHS. It was fun to run into her occasionally at events and dog shows and we always had a big hug! She loved her dogs and showing them, and was proud of their awards! I am sad she is gone and peaceful thoughts to Lynn and the family.

I met Vicki at a dog training class in 2009. She was so willing to help a newbie with suggestions from her vast experiences of training. She was kind and generous in sharing with me some dog equipment that she was no longer using. I miss my good friend and the lovely smile, sense of humor, and kind words she always shared.
