Victoria was lovingly known as “Suga”. Suga was always so full of energy and known for her “get the party started” dancing, she would willingly “dance anyone under the table”. She enjoyed fixing things, from cars to hearts. Suga’s heart was so big; she had so much love and encouragement for her children, grandchildren, and other children as well. She was “Mom” to so many people. Suga loved to take her walks so she could mingle with the animals. She loved gardening and her cooking would steal your heart.

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven; a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
