Vicky Rae Poling

Vicky Rae Poling passed away at her home in Pataskala, Ohio on a beautiful summer day, September 10, 2024, at 4:05 PM. She was born in Buffalo, New York, on June 25, 1958.

She was a loving wife, mother, "GranV," sister, aunt, and friend. She was her husband's everything, her children's adored mother, her daughter's best friend, and the best "GranV" to her two grandsons. She radiated positivity and loved the Lord with all her heart. A strong believer, she walked closely with Jesus and spoke of her faith constantly. Vicky brought light to the world with her joyful spirit and personality. She loved making others laugh and smile. Confident in herself, she would liven up any room she entered. She made family gatherings special, and to her, every day was a great day.

Vicky grew up in Rushville, Ohio, and graduated from Fairfield Union in 1976. She married her husband, Bret, in 1978. They moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where they lived for 10 years. After the birth of their two children, Vicky and Bret moved back to Ohio to be closer to family. Vicky was a proud stay-at-home mother for many years. Later in life, she worked in the local community, bringing her vibrant energy to everyone she met.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Verlyn Ray and Alice “Mimi” Joan Young, and her father-in-law, Charles Frederick Poling.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Bret Frederick Poling; son, Kyle Frederick Poling (Samantha); daughter, Kendra Rae Adams, and son-in-law, Austin; her grandsons, Brody Poling and Barrett Adams; her sisters, Terry Nutter (Doug) and Kelly Crook; brothers, Chris Young (Diane) and Greg Young; mother-in-law, Beverly Poling; many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

Family and friends will be notified of a private memorial service and Celebration of Life.
