Vickie Lynn Bartram Adkins
(August 24, 1955 - March 25, 2012)

Vickie Lynn Bartram Adkins, 56, of Huntington, WV, went to rest with the Lord and reunited with her precious girl on Sunday evening, March 25, 2012 at Ohio State Medical Center after complications following a bone marrow transplant. Funeral services will be conducted at 1:30 p.m. at Wallace Funeral Home and Chapel, March 30, 2012, by Elder Garland Perry and Elder Vernon Perry. Burial will follow at Ridgelawn Memorial Park, Huntington, WV. Vickie was born August 24, 1955, to Carl and Lorene Adkins Bartram, in Cabell County, WV. She graduated from Barboursville High School in 1973 and was employed at Cracker Barrel in retail sales, where she was always quick to share a hug and a smile. Vickie was a member of Bethlehem United Baptist Church where she served many years as a Sunday school teacher, vacation bible school coordinator, and Christmas play coordinator, sharing her gifts of art, painting, and craft-making and most of all, her love for children. Vickie was preceded in death by her parents, her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Howard and Eunice Adkins, and her precious daughter, Erin Renae Adkins Wilson. What a heavenly reunion that must have been!! Vickie is survived by her loving husband of 37 years, Homer Lenvil Adkins, her devoted daughter and son-in-law, Carrie Beth and Craig Timothy Boggs, her son-in-law Brian James Wilson, her sisters and brothers in law Linda and Ronnie Hatfield, Sheila and Larry Nicely, and Tonia and Steve Fulks, her brother J.R. Bartram, her nephews Jason Hatfield, Jeremy Hatfield, and Joshua Adkins, and her special nieces, Haley, Kaitlyn, and Loren Fulks, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and special friends that she held dear, especially her Cracker Barrel Gang who she loved with all her heart. Vickies strong faith and love for her family made her the rock for those around her and while our hearts are broken, we can find comfort that she has achieved her ultimate goal and is reaping her reward in heaven for eternity. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. II Timothy 4:7-8 Friends may call from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Wallace Funeral Home and Chapel, Barboursville, WV.
