Vicki Ann "Yerk" Makins

Vicki Ann Makins passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on August 10, 2025. Up until the day of her passing, Vicki maintained a life of kindness, compassion and unconditional love for her friends and family. While she was known to love her pets, her generous yard, bursting with beautiful flowers and nature's finest views, Vicki also loved people and would welcome anyone into her home for coffee, tea or a simple chat. Throughout the years, many friends and family were welcomed for extended periods of time, to come and be taken care of at her home. Vicki spent her early years in Obelisk with her parents, but married young and started her own family. Her marriage, one that spanned fifty-two years, was all encompassed with support, love and three beautiful children. Vicki was a full-time mother and homemaker while her children were young, but she later retired from ValTech Corp after twenty-one years of employment. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband James Makins Sr, daughters Kimberly M. Keller - wife to Barry R. Keller, Tracey L. Makins - wife to Terrie and one son, James Makins Jr. She will remain loved fiercely by all her granddaughters, Emily N. Keller, Destiny M. Makins, Sierra L. Makins and Alexis M. Makins. Burial will be private. Celebration of life is scheduled for September 13,2025. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Vicki Ann (Yerk) Makins, please visit our floral store.
