Victoria "Vickie" J. Franz, 60, of Napoleon, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 28, 2018 after losing her courageous battle against cancer. Vickie was born on October 3, 1958 to Donald and Helen (Eitzman) Franz of Napoleon.
Vickie was a force to be reckoned with. She enjoyed gardening, baking cookies, listening to music, singing and listening to her wind chimes. She liked to camp with her family but hated the heat that often came with it. She spent a lot of time at home with her family. She made sure everyone in her life knew they were loved and supported. She especially loved her grandchildren. If asked, she would tell her children that she loved her grandkids more than them.
She always had a Pepsi in hand. She liked to decorate for the holidays, especially Christmas. Vickie made sure that everyone she met felt like family. She always made sure to find a reason to smile, even in her final days. Vickie was a strong, stubborn, funny, forgiving, loving person who will be missed dearly by all who knew her.
Vickie is survived by her life partner, Gilbert Fonseca Jr; seven children, Gilbert A., Ryan, Echo, Eric, Johnny, Amanda and Stone. She is also survived by twelve grandchildren and brothers, Duane and Robert Franz.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Helen (Eitzman) Franz; sister, Lisa Franz and mother-in-law, Lucy Fonseca.
