Vicki Jo Hylton

Our sweet and strong-willed angel, Vicki Jo Hylton, mother, grandmother, daughter, wife, lover, sister, teacher and friend, "spread her wings" Wednesday night, Feb. 2, 2005, "and is now shining her light on us from her place in the heavens."

She was loved greatly and survived by her daughter, Jennifer; life partner, Trish; grandchildren, Karma Rose and Bailey Gage; mother, Norma; father and stepmother, Ed and Lee; and many, many friends.

She was caring, giving and loyal, and loved family, friends, food and fun, often all at once.

"We love you and we will miss you."

A celebration of Vicki's life will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 6, the South Fork in Martin City.

Buffalo Hill Funeral Home caring for the family.
