Vicki Lewis

Vicki Marie Lewis, 72, of Hobbs, New Mexico, passed away peacefully on July 17, 2025. Born on June 9, 1953, in Ashdown, Arkansas, Vicki built a life defined by love, service, and unforgettable memories.

Vicki spent 25 years in law enforcement, starting in 1983 at the Hobbs Police Department. She later served with the Lea County Sheriff's Office and retired after a dedicated career, with her last 17 years as a criminal investigator for the 5th Judicial District with the State of New Mexico. Her commitment to protecting and serving her community reflected her strength, determination, and unwavering sense of justice.

Beyond her remarkable career, Vicki's heart truly belonged to her family. She is survived by her devoted husband, Robert (Ed) Lewis; daughters Dawn Haywood and husband Dallas, and Duskie Bennett and husband Kevin; son Robbie Lewis; and her cherished granddaughters Victoria (Torie), Kynsie, and Kamri. She also leaves behind three beloved fur babies who brought her so much joy.

Vicki had a deep love for crafting, gardening, camping, ziplining, and traveling-always ready for the next adventure. She shared her time generously, volunteering as a Pink Lady at Hobbs Hospital and making every holiday and family trip special. Family reunions in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, and countless gatherings created traditions that will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.

Known for her kindness, warmth, humor, and strength, Vicki was the cornerstone of her family-a loving wife, mother, and Nana whose smile could brighten the darkest days. Her legacy will continue through the countless lives she touched.

Vicki was preceded in death by her father, Raymond Whisenhunt; her mother, Marie Whisenhunt; and her older brothers, Gary and Jimmy Whisenhunt.

Though she may be gone from our sight, Vicki's love and light will remain forever in our hearts.
