Vicky Lynn Herrington

Vicky Lynn Herrington, 60 formally from Carlisle, KY. received her heavenly reward on April 4th, 2023, after her 7-year journey with cancer. Vicky was the third of four children given to her parents, Billie and Frances Herrington by God, on August 11, 1962. Vicky was a 1980 honor graduate from Nicholas Co High School. Following graduation, she worked at numerous factory jobs including US Shoe Inc. (Ripley, OH), Jockey International (Carlisle, KY), Tech No Trim (Maysville, KY), and finally retiring from Amazon (Lexington, KY) in 2021. Her dedication in the workplace did not go unnoticed. However, it was her faithfulness and love for Jesus Christ that made the most impact in her life’s journey. Vicky’s unselfish love for others was expressed to those around her, due to her deep passion for the Lord. She poured her heart and soul into her church Blue Licks Assembly of God. During her years of service at her church, she served in the following capacities: Sunday School Teacher, Children’s Department Leader, Worship Team, Youth Supporter, Camp Counselor, Sunday School and Missions Treasurer, and Board Member. Outside of her local church she was also a member of the Children’s Ministry, The Master’s Connection for Kids, ministering to kids of all ages through puppets, songs, skits, and faith-based demonstrations all saturated by the Word of God. Vicky’s love for people was easily noticed. Her kind tender heart surpassed the expectation of others so many times. She gave of herself, time and time again, letting others always feel they were very special to her. Even during times of her treatments her mind was constantly on others making sure that the needs of her family were met before her own. Even in the final weeks of her life when her struggle became hard, she continued to think of others. Vicky was a true vacation enthusiast, on any given day she would be quick to say yes to a family vacation or outing, from the beach or mountains to any other place in between. She could pack her suitcase at any given moment and be ready to travel at the drop of a hat. Her love for the Great Smokey Mountains was easily seen as her face would light up when a road trip was mentioned. In fact, it was prayer and thoughts of her favorite get away place that kept her calm through the toughest of procedures. Vicky loved her family and took their time together very serious making sure each person conversed with her regarding the events in their life, making them feel special. She hugged necks, scratched backs, and on occasion could be heard saying I’m going to kiss you all over your face especially to the children. In addition to her paternal and maternal grandparents, she was preceded in death by her father, Billie Herrington. Surviving in addition to her mother Frances, are her siblings Cindy (Robin) McKinley of Birdsboro, PA, William (Teresa) Herrington of Paris, KY, Rachel (Troy) May of Maysville, KY, and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Visitation hours will be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday April 6, 2023, at Blue Licks Assembly of God church located at 185 Redbud Road Ewing, KY. A celebration of life service will be held at the church beginning at 11 a.m. on Friday, April 7, 2023. Morning visitation will begin at 10 a.m. until the time of service.
