Dear grandmother of Justin Wallen; dear great-grandmother of Mya Miley Wallen, Joshua Wallen and Kylie Bacon; dear cousin and friend.

Victoria loved to roller-skate and won several competitions when she was young.  As an adult, she loved to take long drives. Victoria loved bingo and took many bingo trips with her sister Mae. She loved animals and her special dog, Licorice. She faced many serious health problems in her life but she always bounced back.  She was an Engineer at Boeing and retired after 42 years. She loved her family and especially her adopted grandson Justin. As her Alzheimer’s progressed she became the light of the places she lived. Everyone always talked about her beautiful smile and she always became close with her caregivers. Victoria had a heart of gold and she would do anything for anyone that needed help. Many families received Victoria amazing gift baskets during the holidays and truly appreciated all the thought and care that went into them.
