Victoria "Vicky" Jones Francisco

July 31, 1952 - October 1, 2021

Victoria “Vicky” Jones Francisco, 69, of Catawba, VA, went to be with the Lord on Friday, October 1, 2021. She was born on July 31, 1952, to Noline Caldwell Jones and the late Fredrick Raynell Jones. Vicky was a devote woman of faith, she was a member of Grace Assembly of God and attended regularly with her family for nearly twenty years. Vicky was a prayer warrior, and the first one to pray for others. She retired from the Salem VA Medical Center where she served as a telephone triage representative. Prior to serving in that capacity, she served as an RN working in mental health care at the VA. If you visited her home, you’d quickly find that her choice of décor was anything pertaining to cows, crosses, and angels! Vicky will be dearly missed by all who knew her, this is evident because of the love she had for her family and friends, as well as, anyone around her. In addition to her father, she was greeted on the shores of heaven by her husband, Gary L. Francisco; son, Travis LaPrad; and a brother, Casey Jones. To carry on her legacy she leaves behind her daughters, Melanie Brizendine and husband, Michael, and Angel Hedge and husband, Chuck; son, Wiley Francisco; daughter-in-law, Rechelle Laprad; step-daughter, Teanna Hutton and husband, Joey; special son, Brian Rowell; grandchildren Matt Brizendine, Olivia LaPrad, Jesse Brizendine, Cole Hedge, Grace Hedge, Noah LaPrad, Trevyn Francisco, Jayla Hutton, Tyra Hutton; numerous nieces and nephews; and her special furbaby, Wilbur. A funeral service to celebrate her homegoing will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, October 6, 2021, at the Grace Assembly of God, 5530 Catawba Valley Dr., Catawba, VA 24070, with Pastor Loraine Taylor officiating. Burial will be held privately with her family at the Francisco Family Cemetery in Catawba. The funeral will be live streamed on Grace Assembly of God of Catawba's facebook page or visitors will be asked to sit in the fellowship hall to view the service. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to the Grace Assembly Youth Ministry. Paitsel Funeral Home of New Castle is serving the Francisco family.
