It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Vicky Hayes, who left us on Sunday, July 6, 2025 at the age of 61. Vicky was a beacon of love and a devoted caregiver, cherished by her family and all who knew her.
Born in St., Louis to the late Jerry and Diana, Vicky lived a life filled with joy and dedication. She found immense happiness in the simple pleasures, especially camping trips that brought her closer to nature and, more importantly, to her beloved family. Her nurturing spirit extended beyond her immediate family; she was a compassionate caregiver to all her residents, touching countless lives with her kindness and unwavering support.
Vicky is survived by her two loving daughters, Kim and Nikki and their dad Richard Williams, and Kim's spouse Linda will forever cherish her memory. She was a proud grandmother to her 8 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought immense joy to her life. She also leaves behind her brother, Jerr Jr., and his spouse, Kim, along with her nieces and nephews, who will miss her dearly.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Jerry and Diana Livengood, and her brother, David and her uncle Jim Sorden.
Vicky's legacy of love, compassion, and dedication to family will forever live on in the hearts of those she touched. She will be deeply missed.
A Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date.
Memorials in her name are suggested In Care of Family.
Arrangements are under the direction and care of Phillips Funeral Home of Eldon, MO
