Vickie Funk Obituary

Vickie Funk, a longtime resident of Roy, Utah, and beloved family member, passed away peacefully at her home on May 3, 2025, at the age of 78. Born on March 13, 1947, in Payson, Utah, she was the first child born to Darrell and Betty Wood. She was a kind, loving, and gentle soul who touched the lives of everyone who knew her.

Vickie attended the Peteetneet School in Payson and later graduated from Weber High School after her parents moved the family to Ogden. They were living in Roy when she met Stephen, who had recently returned from serving a mission in Mexico. They were married on June 1, 1967 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.

They started their married life living in Willard and moved many times throughout their marriage. They lived in Alexandria, Virginia; Clearfield, UT; Salt Lake City, UT; Riverdale, UT; Uintah, UT; Roy, UT; Fresno, CA; Los Banos, CA; Pleasant View, UT; and finally West Haven, UT.

Vickie dedicated her life to her family and was most proud of her role as a mother. She was blessed to be a stay-at-home mom when her kids were younger. As her children grew older, she embraced several career opportunities. She worked as a sales representative for Tupperware, a courier during her time in Fresno, California, and finally as a cook at T.H. Bell Jr. High School, where she made many lifelong friends.

An active and devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Vickie's faith was a guiding light throughout her life. She loved working with children and her sisters in the Relief Society. This dedication was reflected not only in her spiritual commitments but also in the values she instilled in her children and the warmth she brought to her community.

She and Steve are very fond of the 23 months they spent in service of friends in Whitley City, Kentucky, where they were full-time missionaries and loved working with the people in that area.

Vickie's hobbies and interests included quilting, crocheting, playing games with her family and friends, golfing, tennis, and going to the movies.

She is survived by her loving husband, Stephen; her son Jim (Krista); her daughter Kristi Call (Spencer); her son Matthew (Wendy); and her son Curtis (Megan). She is also survived by her 3 younger siblings Shauna Peterson (Ron), Debbie Funk (Wayne), and Dennis Wood (Teresa). Vickie's legacy will continue to live on through her family, her 15 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren.

Vickie is preceded in death by her mother, Betty Wood, and her father, Darrell "Deb" Wood.
