Vicki Ireland was born on April 25, 1960, in Topeka, Kan. and went home to Jesus on Aug. 11, 2021. Ireland was preceded in death by her mother and father, Cathy and William Rogers. She is survived by her husband of 40 years, John W. Ireland: two sons, Sean and Eric; grandson, Oliver; sisters, Debi, Ramona and Alicia; brothers, Jack and Derell; mother-in-love, Norma Forster; brother-in-law, Weems McFerrin and many nieces and nephews.
Ireland was poetry in motion, creative, caring and loving. She grew flowers, plants and little boys. She and John lived in many places and traveled to many more. Ireland loved beaches, boating and fishing. She also created objects of art from things she found on the beach. She loved animals and birds and tenderly cared for them.
She left many with sweet memories and is greatly missed. She lives on in the hearts of friends and family.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Friendship Baptist Church on Saturday, Nov. 13, at 11 a.m. All are welcome to join in celebration.
