Mary Sue Vickery

Mary Sue Vickery, 74, of Dade City, FL, formerly of Waukon, went home to be with the Lord on the Lord's day, Sunday, July 16. Her funeral Mass will be held Saturday, August 5 at 10 a.m. at St. Stephen Catholic Church, 10118 Saint Stephen Circle in Riverview, FL.

Mary was born to Bernard and Arlene Deeny in Waukon. She was the widow to Jim Vickery, and the most amazing mom to her son, Bill Emo of Ft. Myers, FL, and daughter, Becky (Rob) McFadden of Tampa, FL. Along with her son and daughter, she is survived by five grandchildren, Ryan, Tate and Tillman Emo, and Will and Wesley McFadden. She also leaves behind four wonderful siblings, Linda Dirksen, Brian (Kay) Deeny, Dennis Deeny and Patty (Jim) Clarke.

She will be missed dearly, but she is finally home with the Lord and will not have to suffer anymore. The family would like to express its gratitude to the people who took such good care of mom at Heritage Park Nursing Home.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to please adopt someone in a nursing home and go visit them. They love your visits, even short ones. Sometimes, you are the only visitor they ever get.
