Mrs. Colquitt passed away on Saturday, December 31, 2022 at her residence. She was born on February 17, 1952 in Eclectic to James Bernard "Bunk" Smith and Annice Vynell "Nell" Martin Smith. She was a member of Russell Farm Baptist Church. She worked as a cosmetologist for many years. Vickie attended church and visited the sick in the community and nursing homes. She loved walking, working in her yard, and traveling with her husband especially in her sports car. Vickie was known to cause an earthquake jumping when Alabama football was on, fighting young children for the prize Easter egg, and bossing her brothers -in-law around any chance she got. Vickie was always cooking for friends and family, and everyone knew she could eat her body weight in blueberries and anything cinnamon or walnut.
She is survived by her sisters, Wanda Yates (Byron) of Millbrook and Judy Beeker (Mike) of Alexander City; nieces, Brandi Adair (Scott), Delaine Cowles (David), Angela Cox (Barton), and Rachael Dunning (Duane); nephews, Dan Beeker, Ben Beeker (Hannah), Chris Hancock (Rachael), and Parrish Colquitt; a host of great-nieces, great-nephews, great-great-nieces, and great-great nephews; sisters-in-law, Joyce Hancock and Linda Colquitt; and brother-in-law, Wayne Colquitt.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband of 52 years, Ronnie Earl Colquitt.
