Mrs. Vickie Gatlin, age 68, of Daleville, passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday, April 22, 2023.

Vickie was born July 18, 1954 in Philadelphia, Mississippi to the late Van Davis and Pauline McLemore. She married the love of her life, Steve Gatlin, on January 12, 1980. Together, they raised three daughters, Angi, Autumn, and Abby. Steve and Vickie were the owners of Lott Furniture Company in Meridian and Around the Corner Gift Shop for many years where they forged beloved relationships with their customers. After retirement, Vickie enjoyed all things antique and spent time in her booths at local flea markets as well as volunteering with Meals on Wheels. Vickie was also known for her creative and colorful sense of style and personality. She was beloved as a "second mother" to many of her daughters' friends. Vickie often was found cheating at games of Scrabble, taking care of her loved ones, and providing life advice to her family. Affectionately known as Nana by her family, she was a long-time member of Andrew Chapel Church. Friends have often commented that Vickie possessed a light about her that left a lasting impression upon their lives.

Vickie was preceded in death by her husband, Steve Gatlin; her parents, Van Davis and Pauline McLemore; her parents-in-law, Grady and Margaret Gatlin; a grandson, Gatlin Ward; and a special niece, Mandy Davis.

Pall bearers will be Keaton Jones, Carson Jones, Houston Wedgeworth, Fletcher Ward, Justin Clark, Justin Branstetter. Carol McLemore, Danny Davis, Homer Davis, Allen Davis, Mike Holloman, and Andrew Windham will be honorary pall bearers.
