Vickie Lynn O'Neal

Duson - A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, March 30, 2023, from 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm at Cypress Funeral Home in Maurice for Vickie Lynn O’Neal, age 66, who passed away peacefully at her residence on Saturday, March 25, 2023, in Duson. Vickie Lynn O’Neal was born on January 11, 1957, in Hobbs, New Mexico and she was a longtime resident of Duson. Whether your meeting was brief, or you had known her for years, Vickie left an impression on you. She made everyone she met feel loved and accepted, because they were. She was fiercely protective of her daughters, with whom she had undeniably close relationships with. Her grandchildren were her world and she was a constant companion to her husband, whom she loved very much. She had an endless passion for knowledge, and was an avid gardener and artist, mostly oil painting. Vickie had an overwhelming love for animals – her dogs Donnie & Hobbs, her parrots, Cere & Beaks, and her tortoise, Flip will mourn the loss of their “momma” just as we do. Vickie never asked for anything and she never put herself first. She simply gave all she could, which made her happier than collecting possessions. Her loss will impact the lives of many, just as her presence did. Vickie is survived by her husband of 27 years, Kenny R. O’Neal; her children, Aimee Robinson (Jeremy Kyle), Chloe Abbott (Russell), and Sarah Lowe (Heather); her step-children, Shane O’Neal (Chrystal Lee) and Trisha Ketchum (Joshua); her mother, Mary Ann Ramsey; as well as her siblings, Michael Ramsey (Anne) and Holley Ramsey. She was preceded in death by her father, Mitchell Ramsey; her maternal grandparents, Dewey and Chloe Barton; as well as her paternal grandparents, Lula and Mitchell Ramsey, Sr. The family wishes to offer a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Richard Hines; as well as the doctors, nurses, and staff at Heart of Hospice for the care and compassion they offered Vickie and her family during her time of need. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made in memory of Vickie Lynn O’Neal to The Clearity Foundation, www.clearityfoundation.org, Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance, www.ocrahope.org, and National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, www.ovarian.org.
