Vicki Jean (Stacy) Watson

March 29, 1954 — March 9, 2025

New Albany, Indiana

Vicki Watson, age 70, of New Albany, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on March 9, 2025. Born on March 29, 1954, in New Albany, Vicki was the daughter of the late William and Dora (Whitlock) Stacy. Vicki graduated from New Albany High School in 1973 and will always remain a cherished sister, beloved aunt, and a friend to many.

Vicki is preceded in death by her devoted husband, Earl Watson, as well as siblings Pat Coleman and Barry Harrison. She was also preceded by her sister-in-law, Vickie Stacy (Rick).

Vicki is survived by her sister, Billie Bodenstadt (Steve), and brother, Rick Stacy. In addition to her immediate family, she leaves behind numerous generations of nieces and nephews, all of whom will keep her spirit alive through their memories and stories. Vicki especially shared a close bond with her niece, Krisie Bostock, who remained a constant source of love and support.

Vicki was a vibrant soul, a true reflection of her spirit, which shone brightly in every aspect of her life. Her love for purple was just one example of how she embraced the things that brought her joy, making every corner of her world a little brighter. She was known for her passion for collecting salt and pepper shakers, proudly displaying them in cabinets throughout her home, each one telling a story of her unique interests and joyful nature. Vicki had an eye for finding great deals while shopping, always on the lookout for the next treasure. Her love for life extended to the dance floor, where she enjoyed dancing at the American Legion Post 28 and getting up early to work out at the gym. Vicki also cherished the moments spent with her friends, especially over lunches at her favorite spot, The Golden Corral. Vicki’s zest for life and her ability to bring a smile to those around her will never be forgotten.
