FC Daehler Mortuary

With heavy hearts but joyful memories, we announce the passing of Vickie L. Austin, who left this world on September 8, 2025, at the age of 72. Born on March 11, 1953, in Portsmouth, Ohio, Vickie was a beacon of kindness and passion for life.

Growing up in the vibrant atmosphere of Portsmouth, Vickie attended PHS in the 1960's, where her adventurous spirit began to blossom. She developed a love for travel and explored the beautiful landscapes of the West, Florida, and Tennessee, always seeking out new sights and adventures. Whether camping under the stars, kayaking down tranquil rivers, or hiking through picturesque forests, Vickie embraced nature with open arms and a joyful heart.

Vickie was also a devoted animal lover. Throughout her life, she dedicated herself to rescuing and caring for countless animals, sharing her home and heart with those in need. Her selfless spirit as an animal caretaker at Cat Welfare exemplified her unwavering love for all living beings.

She is survived by her beloved sister, Carol (Curt) Adkins of Lucasville, and two brothers, Ron Austin of Mesa, AZ and Jake (Sue) Darrell of Portsmouth, and her cherished nieces, nephews and cousins, and friends. Vickie's warmth and laughter will be deeply missed by her family and many friends who knew her as a kind, adventurous soul.

In lieu of flowers please make donations to Sierra's Haven, 80 Easter Drive, Portsmouth, OH 45662.

May her spirit continue to inspire us to cherish nature, love animals, and live life to the fullest, just as she did. Rest easy, dear Vickie. Your adventures are far from over.
