Victoria Evelyn "Vickie" Cass, age 74, of Garnett, Kansas, passed away on Sunday, February 13, 2022, at St. Luke's South Hospital in Overland Park, Kansas, surrounded by her three daughters.
Vickie was born December 30, 1947, in Jackson County, Missouri, the daughter of Joseph Roe and Martha (Wallace) Crawford.
Vickie "Boo Boo" married Forrest Cass on June 10, 1972, in Garnett, Kansas, this union was blessed with three daughters.
She worked as a CNA for McCleod's Nursing Home for years spreading her love to others, later she worked as a machine operator at Warner's Manufacturing for many years until they went out of business, where she then joined the Anderson County Hospital in Environmental services, until she retired in 2012. Well, not technically, because she was busier after retirement with her grandbabies and great grandbabies.
Vickie's greatest passion was her family and caring for people. She enjoyed gardening, taking trips, especially to Branson, where her kids and grandkids made several lasting memories, riding horses, fishing, relaxing on an afternoon drive, teaching her kids and grandkids how to bake and make her special coleslaw. Vickie loved collecting salt and pepper shakers and had over 200 sets that she has collected over the years from many places and a frog collection. She loved spending time with friends and family playing pitch that sometimes lasted till sunrise. Vickie had a heart of gold and found great joy in helping people. She opened her home and her heart to everyone she met and her smile would light up a room. She made an impact that will last forever. One of Vickie's wishes was that she be Baptized and give herself to the Lord, that was fulfilled as she was Baptized in the presence of her three daughters.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Roe and Martha Crawford; one brother, Steve Roe; stepfather, Rex Crawford, and one great granddaughter, Kaycee Evelyn Young.
