Norma Frances Pruett Vickrey was born on December 6, 1936, in San Antonio, Texas. She graduated from South San Antonio High School and earned her degree in education from Southwest Texas State University. Norma began her career as an elementary school teacher and quickly became beloved for her kindness and dedication. On June 30, 1956 Norma married her high school sweetheart and the love of her life, William Kennon Vickrey (“Ken”). Together, they built a beautiful life centered on faith, family, and love. Norma devoted herself to being a dedicated wife and mother, finding her greatest joy in serving God, her family, her friends, and everyone fortunate enough to cross her path. Norma and Ken raised two daughters, Vicki Vickrey Quiram and Brenda Vickrey Johnson. She was a wonderful, fun-loving, and active mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Always ready with love, support, and a warm smile, Norma adored her grandchildren, and they adored her in return—sharing countless joyful stories that will live on in their hearts. A lifelong member of Castle Hills Baptist Church and later Parkhills Baptist Church, Norma and Ken were deeply involved in ministry. They taught Sunday School and cherished their time leading the high school youth group, leaving a legacy of love, guidance, and unforgettable memories. In 1971, Norma and Ken co-founded Vickrey and Associates, a successful San Antonio-based engineering firm that continues to thrive under the name of ESP Associates Inc. Norma embraced life fully. She loved dancing, acting, reading, playing bridge, sewing, snow skiing, motorcycle riding, and traveling. She was also a talented artist, painting stunning Texas landscapes in oil that reflected her appreciation for the beauty of creation. Norma’s unwavering faith in Jesus Christ was the cornerstone of her life. Her strength, support, and love were constants, and her positive attitude, wit, and sense of humor, and smile were infectious. Even in her final days, her joy and love for others never wavered. We take comfort in knowing she is now reunited with Ken, rejoicing together in heaven. Norma is survived by her daughters, Vicki Vickrey Quiram and her husband Carl, and Brenda Vickrey Johnson and her husband Jerry; her sister Patricia Sturdivant and her husband Jack; six grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren, along with numerous family members and cherished friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Frances and Tyson Pruett, and her beloved husband, Ken Vickrey. Norma was truly a gift to everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed but joyfully remembered for the love, laughter, and light she brought to our lives. The Service will begin at 1:00 P..M. on Saturday, January 11, 2025 at the Chambers Chapel located at the rear of Mission Burial Park North, 20900 IH 10 West. Interment will follow at the Cemetery.
