Doris Nell Kirk Vickers

March 26, 1947 — February 13, 2021

Mrs. Vickers passed from this life on Saturday morning, February 13, 2021, at the home of her daughter in Selmer.

She was born in Middleton, the daughter of the late Luke Clifton Kirk and Zora Lee Stanley Kirk and lived most all of her life in Hardeman County. United in marriage to William O'Neal "Sonny" Vickers on December 26, 1962, they were married 54 years at the time of his death on July 26, 2017. She was also preceded in death by a sister, Dorothy Jean Kirk Bryant on February 6, 2021.

She was a homemaker who loved to cook for everyone. Mrs. Vickers was a member of Cypress First United Pentecostal Church at Middleton where she served at pianist and, for many years, she and her husband traveled to various nursing homes and churches to perform - her on the accordion and him on his guitar. She was known to volunteer for many different good works and especially loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She is survived by a daughter, Barbara (Tony) Maloy of Selmer; a son, Kenneth Wayne (Mendy) Vickers of Pulaski, TN; three brothers, Travis (Ruth) Kirk of Henderson, Houston Kirk of Middleton and Dewayne (Linda) Kirk of Corinth, MS; three grandchildren, Kristy (Brian) Owens of Thompson Station, TN, Rachel (Alex Gibson) Maloy of Pas Christian, MS and Thomas Maloy of Muscle Shoals, AL; and two great-grandchildren, Vivian and Braxton William Owens, of Thompson Station.
