In loving memory of Vicki McDowell, a woman whose life was a testament to resilience, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping others. Born into an Air Force family on a Military base in Seattle, Washington, Vicki's early years were marked by global adventures, including travels to Japan, the Philippines, and various bases across the United States. After graduating from Middletown Area High School in Middletown, PA, Vicki pursued her education at Penn State and the University of Arizona. Fueled by a passion for supporting those facing challenges with drug and alcohol addiction, she successfully built and operated a home in Tucson, AZ, providing solace and assistance to women dealing with various social and mental disorders. Vicki's love for literature, especially mysteries and crime stories, mirrored her inquisitive nature and appreciation for storytelling. Her joy in watching her children and grandchildren grow reflected her profound love for family. She leaves behind a legacy of love through her three children: son, Matthew Peters, his wife Claudia, and granddaughters Rachael and Leah of Delaware; grandson Kyle Sawdey, his wife Maria and great grandchildren Savannah, Lillian and Julian of Delaware; and daughter, Myranda Haines, her husband John, and granddaughter Shayla of Alabama. Vicki is also survived by her brother John McDowell of Virginia and sister Robin Stein and Husband Ed Stein of Arizona. Preceded in death by her parents, Howard and Elva McDowell, brother Thomas McDowell, and daughter Tameka Sawdey, Vicki's departure is deeply mourned by those who knew and loved her. The family requests privacy during this difficult time and appreciates the thoughts and prayers of friends and loved ones. A private funeral will be held to honor and remember Vicki. May she rest in peace.
