Vicki Marderosian Coughlin was born to Martin and Agnes Marderosian, Armenian immigrants, on May 29, 1924 and passed away on September 27, 2025.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Fred C. Coughlin and stepson, David Coughlin. She is survived by step children Philip Coughlin, Mary Beth Roberts and Kathleen Owens.

The youngest of seven children, she was preceded by brothers Bill, Kay and Jack and sisters Esther Goolkasian, Elizabeth Marderosian and Gladys Amerian. She is also survived by nephews Arthur and Raymond Gookkasian, Marty Marderosian, Les Marsden, and Brian Marderosian, and nieces Beverly Belardinelli, Linda Dubbels, Nancy Omachi and Lori Hitter, five great nephews, a great grand nephew and great grand niece.

Vicki graduated from Fresno High School and attended Fresno State where she was elected Cotton Queen. In 1952, her adventurous spirit took her to Hawaii where a one week vacation became a year long adventure. Her photogenic qualities led to modeling for local department stores and newspaper advertisements. She was an avid bridge player, a lifelong reader, and loved playing golf and traveling with Fred.

Her lengthy career with Bank of America began in Fresno, and continued when she and Fred moved to Southern California. She served for many years as escrow officer at the Laguna Beach Branch prior to her retirement.
