It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Vicki Grove 69, Mesa, AZ. Vicki with grace and dignity, surrounded by loved ones, peacefully passed March 13th, 2024 in Mesa. Vicki inspired all those who crossed paths with her special light, her presence, compassion and kindness, and will be deeply missed.
She was born on March 20th, 1954 to Joe and Fran Spicer in Grand Forks, ND. Vicki throughout life was always a person to give until she could give no more. Whether it was family, a close friend, or a stranger on the street she would always extend kindness. Her heart was larger than most as she was one of the warmest kind-hearted women to walk this earth.
She wore many hats through her life from being a daycare provider, farmer’s wife, office assistant and in her younger years perfecting the perfect “Curly-Q” at Dairy Queen. But a role that truly filled her heart with joy and passion, that would never waiver, was being a wife, mother and grandmother.
In 1983 she wed John Grove for a union of over 40 years. Through that time, they endured many ups and downs, but always came through the other side. She also loved their time together in traveling, family adventures and driving him nuts with her love of animals. But through it all, she was always a role model teaching us to find the purest heart in people and to show grace.
Vicki is preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Francis Spicer, Elizabeth Grove (Sister-in-law), Matthew Sharp (Son-in-law). She is survived by her husband; Her children, Jenny & Greg Huber, Matt & Shannon Grove; Grandchildren, Makenna, Landon, and Anna Huber.
In lieu of flowers and in honor of Vicki, please consider a donation to the American Cancer Society donate.cancer.org or Hospice of your choosing. Words cannot express the caring and compassionate nature they provided, not only to Vicki, but all those who surrounded her.
