Vicky was born in Providence, RI, the daughter of Aaron and Badaskan (Badrigian) Agsanian. Along with her parents, she was predeceased by three brothers: Harry, Aram, and Leo Agsanian.

She was predeceased by her husband of 67 years, Nishan Ovian, who died in 2017. She leaves three children: Mark and his wife, Linda of Whitinsville; Craig and his wife, Tracey of Upton; Betty and her husband, Jeffrey Smith of Uxbridge. She was blessed with five grandchildren: April (and her husband, Charles Ballou), Major Mason Ovian, U.S.M.C.; Jared, Olivia and Colin Smith; and one great-grandson, Wyatt Ballou.
