Vikki was incredibly strong - she fought for her life until the very end. Her strength and resilience will forever be an inspiration to all who knew her.

A private viewing will be held in the near future for close family and friends to honor and remember Vikki and the beautiful person she was.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Vikki Sue Bryant on September 24, 2025.

Vikki was born in Roseville, California, on November 19, 1975. She was a devoted mother, a loyal friend, and a beautiful soul whose smile and laughter were truly contagious.

She is survived by her two beloved daughters, Debbie Zerphy (spouse of Nicholas Thomas) and Jamie Zerphy, who were the light of her life and her greatest joy. Vikki is also survived by her loving sisters, Suzanne (wife of Shawn Eck), Candy Lee, and Tassi (wife of James Murphy Jr.).

She was preceded in death by her brother, Henry Lee Bryant Jr., her parents, Vickie Bryant and Henry Lee Bryant Sr., her uncle Quay Lee Dellinger Jr., and her grandmother Betty H. Dellinger.

Vikki was most proud of her daughters and always did everything she could to give them the best life possible. She found ways to make things happen and just wanted to see her girls happy.

She found great happiness in spending time with her family and loved ones, reminiscing on cherished memories, and sharing in laughter.

Above all, Vikki was incredibly strong - she fought for her life until the very end. Her strength and resilience will forever be an inspiration to all who knew her.

A private viewing will be held in the near future for close family and friends to honor and remember Vikki and the beautiful person she was.

Vikki's love, laughter, and light will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her - deeply missed, with a love that will never fade.
