She graduated San Angelo Central High School in 1967. She leaves behind a legacy of love. In 1992, she started the Broken Chains Prison Ministry, leading offenders to Christ. She also started the Angel Tree program here in San Angelo, a nationwide program that helps children of offenders to receive gifts in the name of the missing parent and in the name of Jesus. Vicki was a warm and caring person who touched all she came in contact with. She is survived by one sister, Carol Nicks of Dallas; two daughters, Sheila Cole of San Angelo and Holly Cole of of Waco; one son, Randall Merriman of Grape Creek; a special nephew, Larry Lee Jones; three grandchildren, Jamar Wheless, Jasmin Cole of Waco and Dante Melendez of San Angelo; and her special little friend, “Dumplin.” Special thanks go to Connie and the other nurses at Angel Home Health for making her life and her room a brighter place. Special thanks to Sam Flores at Girling Home Health. The memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 3, at Christian Faith Center in San Angelo.
