Vicky was born on Feb. 19, 1961, in Midwest City, Oklahoma, to Robah Eldred and Lynne (Davidson) Boles Jr. She spent 1961 through 1968 as an Air Force brat, spending most of her time overseas in France, England and Scotland, with Scotland being her favorite.

Vicky's dad retired to St. Augustine, Florida, in 1968, passing away in 1973.

Vicky's mom, Lynne, moved Vicky and her brother David back to Havre. Vicky graduated from Havre High School in 1979, and married the love of her life, Clyde Thomas Jr., on Dec. 1 of that year. In 1982, the apple of her eye, Brandalyn, was born, and in 1989, her pride and joy, Duke, was born.

In 1979, Vicky began working at the Hill County Sheriff's Office as a dispatcher/secretary. She absolutely loved her job and people she worked with, including all her deputies who were her kids, until health complications forced her to retire in 2003. Then she started her own business, Sphinx Graphics and Design, doing custom embroidery and signs.

Vicky absolutely loved making people happy, especially with her business and helping with RV shows. In 1989, she became part owner of Western Trailer & Marine Sales when Clyde Sr. passed away.

Vicky enjoyed keeping busy, whether it was with softball, bowling, trivia games, reading the thousands of books she had, or watching Harry Potter over and over again. She will be missed by all, even by our extra "family," those wayward guys for whom she was a second mother. Vicky will especially be missed by all of the animals she loved so dearly.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her grandparents; and her dear dog, Ladybug.

Vicky is survived by her husband, Clyde R. Thomas Jr. of Havre; her daughter, Brandalyn (Robert) Kurtz of Havre; her son, Duke Thomas of Havre; her brother, David (Tammy) Boles of Havre; her nieces and nephews, Chelsea, Kyle Michaela, Jerod and Janae Boles; her "fur babies," Turbo, Kimber, Potsie, Holly and Willy; and many close friends and family.
