Vicki was born on January 7, 1973 in Dallas, Texas to Richard Purvis and Charlotte Embry. She was raised in a loving home by her mother and stepfather Herman Embry. While Vicki had many jobs throughout her time here on earth, the one she valued and loved most was her time working as a nurse doing home health. What Vicki cherished most in her life was her family. No matter who Vicki met, they were never strangers for long, she loved with her whole heart, caring deeply for everyone around her.

She is survived by her loving son Brenton Purvis and wife, Camryn; sister, Lori Withrow; nephew, Bennie Withrow IV; nieces, Kelli Withrow and Krystal Bailey; great nephews, Cameron Withrow, Noah Withrow, and Liam Gray; great nieces, Grace Bailey and Trinity Bailey, many cousins, and extended family who loved her dearly.
