February 17, 1954 - May 2, 2023
Vickie Lynn Huxman (Youk) was born in Goessel, Kansas on February 17, 1954 the youngest of seven children to Leland and Lorene Youk and entered eternal life on May 2, 2023.
After her father's death, Lorene married Harry Laubhan and from that relationship Vickie gained another sister. Vickie grew up on a small farm close to the Marion Reservoir between Marion and Hillsboro, Kansas.
She attended school in Marion and graduated from Marion High School in 1972.
Vickie married Bruce Martens in 1972 and they had two children, Jason Martens and Jenny Dricsoll. In 1998, she married Doug Huxman.
In her spare time, she loved working with her flowers and attending grandkids many events. She also loved to attend flea markets with her siblings and when they couldn’t go, she coerced Doug into going. She also loved to travel, especially places that had the reputation of being haunted. She was also fortunate to visit Europe twice.
Anyone that knew her also new that she was infatuated with the Beatles and had an entire room at home dedicated to the Beatles. One of the last concerts she attended was a concert in Wichita that featured one of the members of the Beatles, Paul McCartney.
Most of all she loved and cherished each and every member of her family and spending time with them. They will all remember her constant smile, gentle nature, and spirit of generosity, but most of all, they will miss her love. Though she is not with us anymore, none of us will ever consider her gone because, for each of us, her memory lingers on and she will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
Vickie was a lifelong member of Zion Lutheran Church in Hillsboro where over the years she taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School.
In 2016, Vickie was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) which robbed her of the ability to communicate. In time she also lost her ability to take care of herself and eventually came to depend on others. She became a resident of Newton Presbyterian Manor in 2020 where she remained until her death.
Vickie was preceded in death by her father Leland Youk; mother Lorene Laubhan and stepfather Harry Laubhan; sisters Carolyn (Leon) Schmidt and Linda (Terry) Shaw; and brother Gaylen (Betty) Youk.
She is survived by her husband Doug Huxman; daughter Jenny (Pat) Driscoll; grandsons Dayton (Brianna) Stucky and Parker Schultz and great-granddaughter Oakley Stucky; son Jason Martens and his friend Lynda Karseboom; her sisters Shirley Carstens; Margie (J.B.) Geisler; Sharon (Gerald) Kelsey; Laurie (Tom) Koslowsky; stepsons Chris (Jamie) Huxman and Brian (Cori) Huxman and their children. She will be missed by her extended family and all her friends that touched her life as well.
