Victoria "Vickey" Shockley

It is with profound sadness that the family of Victoria B. Shockley of Paxton, Nebraska, announces her passing on April 13, 2024, at Great Plains Health in North Platte, Nebraska, at the age of 72. Born to the late Beatrice and Ralf Stephenson in Ogden, Utah on August 11, 1951, Victoria, affectionately known as Vicki, lived a life characterized by wit, kindness, and a carefree spirit.

Vicki was greeted in Heaven by her parents and her brothers, Mike and Jeff Stephenson. She leaves behind a legacy of love, including her devoted son, Dana Oliveira (partner Tiffany Dancer); her beloved brothers, Wes Johnson and Morris Johnson; her treasured granddaughters, Kierstin Pike, and Jocelyn Oliveira; in addition to 4 much-loved nieces.

After graduating from Mt. Tahoma High School in Washington, Vicki embarked on a career that saw her employed at Sea Port Records in Portland, Oregon, until her move in 1992 to Paxton, Nebraska. Here, she explored several professional avenues, finally dedicating years of service to Henkes Grocery Store until her retirement.

An avid gardener and lover of the simple pleasures of life, Vicki found solace in the soil and joy in the blossoms. Her hobbies also included online shopping and most importantly, engaging in heartfelt conversation with her close circle of friends and family, whom she adored above all else.

The family will hold a celebration of life to honor Vicki's memory, with the date to be announced in due course. 

Vicki's presence in our lives was a gift, and while we mourn her loss, we also celebrate the grace with which she lived. Her memory will be enshrined in our hearts forever. May she rest in peace.
