OBITUARY
Lonnie Vickery Sr.
March 4, 1939 – June 26, 2026
When Lonnie first went to work, he worked as a tugboat captain for LWR and then for Alcoa as a utility operator for 35 years and retired in 2000.
Lonnie was known for supplying anyone that needed or wanted pecans, oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, pears, peaches and plums! He nurtured his trees well into his eighties and they handsomely rewarded his efforts.
Lonnie never turned away any animal that wandered up to his wildlife sanctuary. He was a very kindhearted man that never met a stranger. Above all he cared for his family very deeply.
He is survived by his wife, Peggy Vickery; sons, Lonnie Vickery Jr. (Karen), Lanny Vickery (Melody); daughter, Linda Wolf; step-son, Chris Johnson; step-daughter, Sherry McGrew; grandchildren, Lesli Day (Robby), Erika Crumbly, Tyler Vickery, Kelsey Trahan (Austin), Brady Vickery (Natalie); great-grandchildren, Mason Jones, Beckett Trahan, Parker Trahan and his siblings, James Vickery, Jeanette Taylor, Ginger Kaminsky and Patricia Yaws. He also leaves behind Laura Vickery, who blessed Lonnie with his three children.
He is preceded in death by his parents; granddaughter, Kandis Vickery and siblings, Bernice Crouch, Betty Jean Shedd, Laura Barbree, Katherine Stephens, Alvin Vickery and Bob Vickery.
A Graveside service will be July 11, 2026 at 11 AM at Greenlawn Cemetery.
A meal and reception will immediately follow at VFW Hall, 16 Konrad Rd, Port Lavaca, TX.
Memorial donations may be made to La Ward United Pentecostal Church.

It is always appropriate, and often times recommended, sending flowers or plants to the family after the funeral services are over. During this period, phone calls and words of comfort taper off. Then, the heartfelt pain of a death in the family is really experienced for the first time. The arrival of a beautiful bouquet or living plant can be so uplifting during this stage of grief and loneliness. Realizing that others still care and remember even weeks after the services can be great comfort to those in mourning. |
