Obituary

Victoria “Vickie” Lea Stains, of Slidell, Louisiana, passed away on March 14, 2023, at the age of 39. She was born on September 29, 1983, to her parents, Janet Robichaux Stains and Charles Stains. Victoria is the beloved mother of Regina Stains; treasured sister of Rachele Stains and Stephanie Stains Gekler (Garrett); and aunt of Hazel Gekler. She is also survived by a host of extended family members and friends.

Victoria is a mother, auntie, a daughter, a best friend, a child of God, and now OUR ANGEL. Over the past 15 months, she fought a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Throughout her treatment, she was such an extraordinary example of strength, grace, and dignity, but she is so much more than the sum of the past year. Victoria is smart, beautiful, funny, loving, and fearless. She was an avid gardener, creative crafter, and generous with her time and efforts. She was a faithful member of the Catholic Church. We will celebrate her life every day. We will remember and honor all the love and light she brought into this world, especially her daughter, Regina.

Visitation will begin at 1:00 p.m. A Funeral Mass will follow at 2:00 p.m. Inurnment to follow Mass at St. Joseph Abbey Cemetery.
