Vicki Lynn Dumas (Roberts), age 69, of Sherwood, Arkansas, passed away on January 8, 2026, in Sherwood surrounded by her family. She was born on January 3, 1957, in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

A proud graduate of Sylvan Hills High School, Class of 1975, Vicki began her career at Kroger at the young age of 16. She trained at the Geyer Springs location before transferring to the Indian Hills Kroger, where she dedicated an impressive 44 years of service. Over the decades, she worked in the deli, cheese shop, and bakery departments. Known for her high standards and unwavering work ethic, Vicki took great pride in mentoring new employees and earned the admiration of both colleagues and customers.

Vicki embraced a life centered around family and shared traditions. She met her husband, Ronald Dumas, while square dancing—a pastime that sparked a deep connection between them. Together they built a life filled with love and companionship until Ron’s passing.

Vicki was a devoted wife, mother, and daughter. Vicki is preceded in death by her father, Raymond Roberts of Jacksonville, her husband Ronald Dumas of Sherwood, and her son Michael Dumas of Cabot. She is survived by her mother, Shirley Roberts, her brothers, Garry (Pam) Roberts and Tommy (Sheryl) Roberts, her daughter, Jennifer Bobo of Jacksonville, daughter-in-law Jacquelyn Dumas and fiancé Abe Wyly of Cabot, and her many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She found immense joy in being “Nana” to her grandchildren—Hunter Bobo, Mitch Bobo, Audrey Wilson, Leah (Josh) Ford, Kinsley Dumas, Blake Dumas, Aubrey Titus, and August Wyly—and great-grandchildren Brianna Bobo, Gracie Bobo, Hannah Bobo and Blair Bobo.

Vicki had many passions throughout her life. She loved gardening and cake decorating—activities that reflected her creativity and care. In her early years, Vicki enjoyed horseback riding on her horse Gala, roller skating with her brother Tommy, and playing flute in the school band. Her favorite activity throughout her life was fishing. She first learned to fish with her father which helped build the strong bond they shared. She carried her love of fishing into her adult live and enjoyed many fishing and camping trips with her husband, her children, and her grandchildren. She also found joy in taking Blake to deer camp where he would almost always get a deer! She enjoyed trips with her daughter Jennifer and going shopping with Kinsley. Her faith remained a guiding force throughout her life as she worshipped with family and brought her grandchildren to services and Awana programs.

May her memory bring comfort to all whose lives she touched.
