Dr. Victoria J. Easterling

To My Dear and Wonderful Soror Vicky, I miss you and wanted to make certain, I celebrate, your 50th years in Delta. It was an honor to have you as apart of KH. You are remembered...

Always In Vision and Only A Thought Away. You are missed but not forgotten.

Lil Bit, I still hear your voice of reason, concern, and love. Always a Blessing in my life. Sorors forever, even with you in Omegs-Omega Heaven. Keep looking down on us. I miss you so, much. Tyler

Always in our hearts!!!!!

Our line celebrated the chartering of our chapter, Kappa Eta on the campus of UWM this past June. The chapter turned 50 on June 3rd, 2023. There is not a day, hour, minute, second that "Lil Bit", Victoria Jordan Easterling is not thought of. Those of us who were able to attend said her name in prayer. Shared memories of time spent with her on the campus and after. Her laughter, her smile always made us feel a sense of joy and sisterhood. No one that is truly loved and has given love is forgotten. Victoria remains in our hearts forever. She was first in line, first to walk the gardens of heaven, first to adorn the wings of an Angel. Always In Vision and Only A Thought Away.

I miss you so much.

Always In Vision.

I saw someone's smile and it made me think of you. Always In Vision.

I just read of your passing and honestly did not know...Thanks for allowing me to work with on a Boys & Girls project a few years ago. You were an angel and inspiration to many! God rest your soul...Deepest Regards to the family...She was a very sweet woman.

A sweet lady. God Bless.

My beautiful Soror, you will be missed. I had no idea. My prayers go out to your family. Your girls are a beautiful reflection of you. - Saundra Jackson-Boykins, Atlanta, GA

Mrs. Easterling I had no idea, and I'm sure im not the only person that wanted to be there to be a part of your home going but didn't know. But what I do know is that I will definitely miss yo and that big smile that you gave me and everyone else. You inspired me many days, and I know you know it. Thank you and I'm praying for you family and peace.

My deepest sympathies to the Easterling family. As you cope with the loss of Victoria, may the fond memories shared bring comfort during this time of grief and pain. “He is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots.” (Psalms147: 3)

Miss E.
It's been a month and 10 days since you passed on to Glory. I laugh because you would always say Glory. I remember you from the Lift Every Voice Program and grew further into knowing you in high school. You stayed helping others and doing for others on a constant basis. You made it your goal to serve God and show your love for him by spreading the gospel. I can honestly say you were a great mentor and teacher. I will miss you so, so much.

You Are Only A Thought Away. And Forever In Our Hearts.

you'll be missed and the Hub City will not be the same without you. Rest In PEACE!!! From the one you always called Ms. Diva.

To the Easterling Family: May it be a source of inner strength to know that there's a loving God watching over you, and that throughout this time of need, He'll stay close by your side.

You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Joanne Warren-Johnson and Family

I knew Vicki for over 20 years and she was always moving straight ahead. Even last fall when we taught together at PRCC. She was focused and straight ahead. Such inner resolve and stength, I have not witnessed very often. Children, bask in your mom's awesome legacy. Know that she loved you more than life.
Ms Julia

My Corner Of The World Will Continue to Shine Brighter For Knowing "Lil Bit'. I knew Vickie from Racine. I was so pleased when we both ended up pledging Delta Sigma Theta. Her laugh and her grin was so infectious, that when she was around all was well. Whenever she came to Los Angeles, she never failed to call me. Her earthly body is no longer with us, but her SPIRIT IS ALIVE. To the Family Of My Sands, My Sister. I say to you All, Have Not A Heavy Heart, for she is now an ANGEL OF GOD and will watch over us all. And for that I am so grateful, and feel so blessed.

Always In Vision, J2

What a dreamer, who accomphised much!!! A great friend! I will miss our early Sunday mornings converations (this was the one time I knew I could catch up with her). Thank you Victoria, for your inspiration, godly insight, and for being my best cheerleader. I knew you had my back. Victoria was a loyal person, who loved her family. Trey, Marlena, and Latoria God gave you guys a wonderful mother. She loved fiercely and nothing but the best would do for her family. Marvin, she was a wonderful wife, partner and helpmeet. Even up to the end, she was planning what she would do for the summer and in her retirement. A wonderful example of God's goodness, mercy and blessings. The angels are truly rejoying over this one.

To the family especially Marlena, Latoria and Tre, Your mother showed me what strength was, and a Woman of God is. I will continue to remember this as I pursue my BS at USM in Psychology. Against the olds she still pressed on. I know she had a lot of help from the Holy Spirit and family members. She truly walked out this christian walk, be encourage knowing God has chose the best to be your mother and now to be an angel around his throne.So Mrs.Mickey you R.I.H.P( Rejoice In His Presence) While we strive to meet you there.

Dear Marlena and Tori, I am very sorry to hear of your mother's death. Please know you both will be in my prayers. Julie Parker

Tori and Marlena,

I was so sorry to hear about your mother's death. Praying for you and your family.

To the Easterling Family, please know that my life is more full because I knew Vicky (or, as we called her on line #1 Little Bit). Her tenacity and awesome ablity to lead and allow others to do the same, was refreshing and a welcomed breath of fresh air; on the first Line of Delta Sigma Theta @ UWM's campus in 1974. Vicky truly tipiafied what Delta Women are, womem of Love, Sistrehood & Service. I will never forget our last conversation, it ended in prayer for a speddy recovery & God's Perfect Will. This world is a better place because Vicky worked to make it so. I will miss my Soror, & friend. Blessings to you all. I Thank God for the loving time she spent with us. #9 Tyler Brown, (Temptin-T) Milwaukee, WI

Miss E was a 100% strong black woman. I adored her energy and love for life . I will alway remember her for witty and nuturing attitude toward others, especially toward her students. Boy! did she love those children. There were no stones she would leave unturn trying to help them to suceed . Now that"s what I call reprensenting your generation class of "1971" "E" I know you have gone to be with your heavenly father, which you always so diligently stated. You will never be forgotten and always be loved. May you rest in peace 100% strong "BLACK WOMAN" I love you. " Classmate" "1971 (Hattiesburg, Ms)

To the Easterling family: im so sorry for your lost...Ms..Easterling will surely be missed... She stayed on my butt..but i loved her to death she was one of the ones that would keep it real with ya...she taught me in summer school,PRC,and at the boys and girls club...to her son trey and her daughter everything will be okay she is in a better place keep your head up high...GOD BLESS Y@LL!!

I offer my sincerest condolences to Dr. Easterling's family. My first year teaching was at Hattiesburg High in 2007-2008 and I taught with Dr. Easterling. She was the most courageous woman I have ever met! She was at school and teaching those kids when most of us would have been in bed wallowing. I always loved to see what her new hairstyle was gonna be. Although I haven't seen her in several years, I will be sadden by this loss. However, those who knew her can take comfort knowing that she is sitting in the presence of the Lord God Almighty! We shall meet again.

i held your hand just last week and seen all the pain you was in i know you are so happy now that you are pain free so r.i.p. until we meet again! i love you aunt mickey

May God bless all of you. Mrs. Easterling was an example for all to see. She was one of the strongest lady I have ever known. She would ask you to do your best. I loved working on committes with her at HHS. She was a great teacher and leader. Keep the faith and always remember she loved everybody. We will miss her at HHS.

Below is the poem that I had written for Dr. E, a few days before our spring class was to end. As I stated before, she was the best in my book. She will always remain in my heart.

Mrs. E
From the first day in your class, we knew
There was something special about you.
Not only are you a kind and gentle teacher
You are a woman of very strong will too!
You never let your illness stand in your way
Nor have you let it get you down.
You always have a pretty smile on your face,
We have never even seen you frown.
Teachers of your kind, are such a very few,
For one to possess all of these characteristics;
They would have to be just like you.
So if we were asked to name one thing that you
Have taught us, it would have to be;
Anyone can be a teacher, but not
Everyone can be a, Mrs. E

Mickey, I'm going to really miss you. You always said that I was your girl everytime you saw me, which really made me smile.

I WILL NEVER FORGET ALL YOU DID FOR ME AND TAUGHT ME I LOVE YOU AS A MOM NOT NEIGHBOR IM SAD THAT I WANT GET TO SAY GOODBYE OR THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

"WE ARE BORN INTO THIS WORD LIKE A BLANK CANVAS. EACH PERSON THAT CROSSES OUR PATH TAKES UP THE BRUSH AND MAKES HIS MARK"

Mickey that was you, you will truly be missed. I will always remember your bright smiling face. May your family feel the comfort and warmth from all the people that loved you.

To the Jordan and Easterling family, Mickey was the epitome of just what a Proverbs 31 Women should be. She walked it, she talked it, and most of all she lived it. There was no doubt in her mind that Jesus is the answer to all that comes upon us and to all that troubles us. She was truly a living testimony and a example to us all. May God's love hold, comfort and keep you through these difficult times, Be Blessed in Jesus Name.

Saying thank you for all the wonderful memories, Mickey! You lived life fully, was funny, loving and always saw the positive to any situation. I will never forget the fun times at Nova and our last conversation. I love you and will always remember what you told me. Rest in peace, Soror!

Mickey, you will be truly missed. Your smiling face, positive attitude and kind words as well as the strength that you displayed has helped us all to endure. We love you and will miss you terribly. Class of 1971 Jackie

To the family of My Soror, Dr. Victoria Jordan Eastering: My heart is sadden to hear of "Mickey" passing but to God Be the Glory for the things he has done in her life. She was a beautiful person and will be missed by all who knew and loved her. God makes no mistakes and she is now resting in the arms of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Take comfort in knowing that she was a good wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

To the easterling family, I pray that God gives you the strength to make it through this rough time. And remember that God does EVERYTHING for a reason. And i know for a fact Mrs. Victoria Easterling is on her way to heaven... so take this time and celebrate, because Mrs. Easterling wouldn't want to have it any other way.

To The Easterling Family;
Victoria was a wonderful lady. You should be proud of her successes and deeds. I wish for you peace and comfort in this time of loss. Please find joy in her life in education, social uplift and family.

To Victoria’s family. I did not get to meet Dr. Easterling in person; however, we had many inspirational conservations and prayed many prayers via the telephone. We prayed and exalted the name of Jesus! I will miss our weekends (telephone) togetherness! God’s blessings to the entire family!
p.s. thank God for telephones, and for Priscilla Jordan (Beaumont, TX), for introducing me to Mickey.

A Reminiscence

YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.

May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;

To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

My thoughts and prayers are with Victoria's family. I've worked with Victoria for the past nine years. She was an exceptional person. God Bless each of you.

Mrs. E.

You will be sorely missed. Your life was a testimony of God's love and grace. May you find peace in His arms.

you will be missed...

Mickey was a mother first. Our last conversation confirmed what I always knew. Your family will really miss you. My memories of you are golden and I will keep the family in my prayers and Trey in my focus.

tori and marlena, i am sorry for your lost.the few times i had the opportunity to be around her she was kind and welcoming.may god give u and your family peace and strength.

I remember Victoria as "Mickey". We played "Countryjack" which was a ballgame back in the day. in the (1960"s) We also said she had eyes like "Endora" from the Bewitch series. (in the 1970's) Then as adults we talked about where we were now compared to where we came from. We shared info and gave each other encouraging words while she was getting ready to farther her education. I thank God for the memories I have of TeeLee, Pete, and Mickey. To her family continue looking to the hill whence cometh your help. Lean on Jesus.

Sorry I can not be there but my heart and my thoughts are with you. I am thinking of my cousin's family and sharing the wonder of a beautiful life and the sorrow of its loss. Mickey will be missed.

victoria, we the pittman family will miss you that's sherry,mae beath, leon, and otis. we will always have you in our heart. sherry pittman & family

I've known you since I was about, maybe 3 or 4 years old. All I ever saw was beautiful smile. Never aggression, never anger always a pleasant dispossession. A heart of gold. Soft spoken and Godly...you will be missed Ms Mickey, may your life continue to be a blessing to all you touched:-)

Faith, Virtue, Kindness, and humbleness of spirit all come to mind when I think of Vick. She is one who could truly say,
"I have fought the good fight,
I have finished the race,
I have kept the faith
and made the world a better placed for having passed through here. She made a difference and she never stopped pressing forward no matter what the obstacle. Simply amazing! You go girl.

Love you Ms. E. You were a kind, loving, and beautiful friend. You will be missed. I am praying for all your family and other friends. I had the pleasure of knowing you three years and it is hard to bear your homegoing. However, I am managing through mama (as you would call yourself to me when you called or when we visited each others class .... I know you had alot of friend daughters, sons, nieces and family lol) because I know you were in a lot of pain and God called you home to rest. I know you already in heaven planning a program, getting a prom together, and being a diva socialite. Love you

Mrs. Easterling has been my neighbor for over 15 years. She was a wonderful example of a virtuous woman of God. As we celebrate her life, we take comfort in know that she is resting in the arms of God. We will miss her dearly.

A race well done Dr. Victoria J. Easterling as a Friend, a person with a warm smile alway and a loving heart. Your encouragement and smile will be greatly missed.

Mrs. E there are no words that can express what you mean to me. When you came into my life I was at a place where I wanted to be a teacher, however; you gave me the boost & support I needed. I will forever be greatful to you for your words of encourgement, your patiences,your love, and most of all your understanding. I will be graduating in a couple of weeks (thanks to you) but I will march across that stage with your beautiful smile in my mind. Rest in peace my friend and I will always forever be greatful that we were friends. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. E family during this time of bereavement!

Oh gosh when I heard it was Ms.E I said quit playing..she was such a inspiring women every tine I seen her at school she had a 100 dollar smile on her face..Always had an encouraging word for the kids at school..She will be missed by many but forgotten by none...May her soul rest in peace..Heaven got another ANGLE.....

Heaven has received yet another ANGEL!! Gone but definately not 4gotten, Mickey will 4ever live on in our hearts! A strong, hardworking, GOD-frearing woman who I remember as ALWAYS "smiling"! I'm smiling right now just thinkin of it! Everytime she saw me she was always encouraging me 2 keep on goin, "let's start a business or somethin" she would say!! Well, Mickey Ion know bout all that but I do know tht I will definately keep on goin and fightin 4 my life no matter what, just the way I saw u do!! U DID NOT leave this place without a fight & I'm sure u still had tht smile in ur heart!!! R.I.P., Dr. Victoria Easterling, I'm sure our Father is holding u in HIS arms saying "Well Done"!!! Love u and my prayers go out 2 all family & friends....our lost, but HEAVEN'S gain!!!

Ms. Easterling was a beautiful, loving, kind, Saved, and dedicated Woman of God, who always cared and thought about others before herself. She always gave me an encouraging word even when she wasn't feeling her best. Although I know she's in a better place, I will truly miss her. I'm Praying that God gives the family strength as well as peace during this time of bereavement.

Just as this candle is a light, you were a light to me and many others. I truly admired you and enjoy the times we shared. You will truly be missed.

It saddens my heart to hear of the loss of DR. E. I was given the honor to be one of her students this past spring at PRCC. I have never met anyone as nice as she was. In my book, she was the "BEST". I Love you, DR E. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family at this time. Ellia Peak, Sumrall, MS

Dr. Easterling will be greatly missed.

To a wonderful person! As a Breast Cancer survivor I related well with Dr. Easterling "Mikey". She once help me with a nursing paper one day and we were talking about how cancer has affected our lives and I remember one phrase she told me that has stick with me for encouragement "Cancer may has affected us, but we still have the victory in Christ weather alive or dead". Amen! She was a true soldier for the Lord.
