Doris McVicker Obituary

Doris McVicker, born on January 7, 1953, in Ray, Arizona, passed away peacefully on December 9, 2024, in Tucson, Arizona. She was the beloved daughter of Olive and Daryl McVicker and grew up in a close-knit family with eight brothers and sisters.

She also enjoyed attending plays and shows with her family, creating treasured memories that will be fondly remembered by all who shared those moments with her.



Her life was defined by the love she gave to those around her. May her memory bring comfort to all who knew her.

Doris had the kindest heart! When I needed a place to stay for a few months, she took me and my hairy dog in without hesitation. I have the fondest memories from that time and hope that her family and friends find comfort in those wonderful memories! My deepest condolences go to Dana and her family! Love you guys!
