Death

Vicki Anita Lee, 74, went home to be with her Lord on November 2, 2023. She was born on October 28, 1949 in Denver, CO to L.T. and Venita Jones. After spending most of her childhood years in Texas, her family moved to Little Rock when she was in elementary school and she had been here ever since. Vicki was a cheerleader at McClellan High school and was active with student council and the debate team. She earned a degree in education from Arkansas State University and began her teaching career shortly after. Vicki taught physical education at Mabelvale Junior High for 14 years and was also the Raiderette drill team sponsor. Vicki and Gary met at a church singles fellowship and were wed 8 short years later in June of 1982. Together, they raised two daughters, Kristi and Lori. Vicki actively served alongside Gary in their Sunday school class for nearly 40 years at Geyer Springs. She consistently used her many talents to minister to those around her. Whether she was hosting church fellowships at her home, decorating the church building for Christmas, directing drama for Kingdom performances, or arranging flowers for church events, baby or wedding showers, she had no shortage of gifts to offer. Starting in the late 1980s, she led a step aerobics class two evenings a week at the church and did so up until just a few months ago. Even when she became too weak to participate herself, she still wanted to go and call the steps from a chair. This class was not only an outlet for physical fitness but the "prayer and share" time with these dear friends was what she cherished the most. Vicki was an avid Razorback football fan, a love that she and Gary both shared. In her spare time, she loved to work in her yard - picking up every stick and trimming every shrub. "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right," she would say. She did NOTHING without music playing in the background and could regularly be caught tap dancing or line dancing around her home. Her love of music was one that she passed down to Kristi and Lori as well. Vicki was her happiest with her family. Just like she was present at her own daughters' games, recitals or performances, she loved to attend her grandkids' events as much as she was able. She stated often how proud she was of them. Vicki was preceded in death by her husband, Gary, her parents, and her brother, Terry Jones. She is survived by her daughters, Kristi Furr & Lori Holbert, two sons-in-law, Joey Furr & Trevor Holbert, four grandchildren, Jordan & Kameron Furr and Lee & Rhett Holbert, all of Little Rock, as well as two sisters, Jean Jones & Georgia Kendrick and a niece, Kelly Kendrick, all of Flint, TX as well as other extended family. Funeral Service will be 10:00am, Tuesday, November 7, 2023, in Sanders Hall of Geyer Springs First Baptist Church, with Pastors Dave Hughey and Paul Sanders officiating. Visitation will be 6:00pm until 8:00pm, Monday, at the church. Burial will be 12:00pm, Tuesday, November 7, 2023, at Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery.
