Vickie Fouts, a well-respected and committed local activist, passed away on May 23, “very peacefully with her teddy bear, my brother Preston and I at her side,” wrote her daughter, Natasha Fouts, on Facebook.
“A friend recently posted that a good way to judge a person is to look at their kids,” added Natasha. “Our mom raised two great kids. She taught us to work hard and be kind. She was a very proud Cal Fire mom.
“She loved her family, friends, garden, Facebook and fighting for social justice. She was stubborn and could be ornery, and we loved her just the way she was.
Vickie was a board member of the radio station KFCF 88.1 FM and the Community Alliance newspaper. She was
also involved in local organizations such as the Pan Valley Institute.
