Vicki Louise Cooper-Foss, 70, of Vassar, KS passed away Monday April 10, 2023. A Catholic funeral will be

held at 12PM Friday April 14th at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Ottawa, KS. Burial will be at 3PM at

Johnson County Memorial Gardens in Overland Park, KS.

Vicki was born July 5, 1952 in Topeka, KS to Richard Cooper and Helen (Caskey) Cooper she graduated

from Argentine High School in 1970 before going to work for Santa Fe Railroad where she eventually was

a supervisor. She was a generous person who helped her family in anyway they needed throughout her

life. She drove her Corvette with the windows down while blasting Paul Simon's song "Diamonds On The

Soles Of Her Shoes." She was married Nov. 11, 1989 to her husband Fredrick Foss and they were blessed

with their daughter Gabrielle that following September. She was inspired by Martha Stewart which led

her to hosting beautiful and memorable gatherings for her family and friends. She enjoyed hosting

gatherings so she had an excuse to test out the newest recipes she had found. She was always the best

confidant when searching for advice or spiritual guidance. She was the rock of the Cooper family and

always did her best to bring the family together during the holidays. One of her hobbies was taking

pictures, whether it was of beautiful sunrises, sunsets, or of her loved ones, she was rarely in the photo

because she was the one behind the camera capturing the memories. She retired in early January 2014,

and moved to Vassar Kansas later that same month.

She was preceded in death by parents Helen and Richard Cooper, by brothers John Cooper, and Rick

Cooper.

She is survived by her husband of 33 years Fred Foss of the home and their daughter Gabrielle Foss. She

is also survived by brother William Cooper, and sisters Rita Cooper and Patricia Cooper.
