   Deceased Name: VICTORIA (VICKY) SUE FEIMSTER RATCHFORD
   STANLEY - Mrs. Victoria (Vicky) Sue Feimster Ratchford of 479 Club Drive, Stanley, NC died Sunday, October 17, 2010 at home.
   A celebration of her life will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, October 20, 2010 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Lincolnton with Rev. Dennis Hacker and Dr. Tracy Jessup officiating. The family will receive friends in the North Wing of Emmanuel Lutheran Church on Tuesday from 7 until 8:30 p.m. Burial will take place at Center Methodist church, Mocksville, NC at 3 p.m. on Wednesday.
   Mrs. Ratchford was born in Iredell County February 4, 1944 to the late Ralph and Frances Holmes Feimster. Her family moved to Mocksville, NC when she was a young child. She graduated from Davie County High School and attended Lenoir Rhyne College where she was a member of Delta Zeta Sorority. She completed her undergraduate degree at High Point University, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and licensure in secondary education. She later earned a Master's degree in curriculum from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and a Doctorate in educational leadership from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
   Mrs. Ratchford served in the public schools for 30 years as a teacher and school administrator working in Randolph, Rowan and Lincoln counties. In Rowan County she was the Director of Secondary Education. In 1997, she was named Lincoln County Principal of the Year. She retired from Lincoln County Schools in 2003, having served as principal of East Lincoln High School and as the Director of Secondary Education. From 2003-2010, she taught in the Graduate School of Education at Gardner-Webb University, Boiling Spring, NC. She was chosen as the Outstanding Graduate Faculty Member in August 2006. Mrs. Ratchford also was a dissertation committee chair for Nova Southeastern University in Florida.
   In her years in public school service, Mrs. Ratchford was an active participant in community and professional organizations including the Denver-Lake Norman Rotary Club and the East Lincoln Betterment Association. She held memberships in the Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development, Delta Kappa Gamma, Kappa Delta Pi, and served on the Board of North Carolina Teachers of English.
   Mrs. Ratchford is survived by her husband of 45 years, Ray L. Ratchford of the home; their son Craig and his wife, Joanie, of Greensboro, NC; and their son Chris and his wife, Aubrey, of Charlotte, NC; sister, Kay F. Allen, and husband Johnny of Mocksville. She is also survived by Craig and Joanie's children, Jason, Hollie, and Lillie. Chris and Aubrey's child will be born in April of 2011. The Ratchford family gives special thanks to Nurse Emily Lowery and Dr. Pierre Martimbeau and his entire staff for their loving care throughout Vicky's 12- year battle with ovarian cancer.
   Vicky's joie de vivre lit up many places and spaces over the years. A gathering at Ray and Vicky's home was an event and Vicky was the social director. She was always genuinely delighted to see you and always made you feel welcome and at ease. As she was lovingly referred to, "Queen Victoria" had such a sense of Southern time, charm and place that one always enjoyed being in her "presence."
   Vicky loved the English language and was a voracious reader; therefore it is appropriate there are so many apt words to describe her - intelligent, persistent, caring, nurturing, entertaining and witty. But perhaps the best descriptors have been saved for these last 12 years - a master teacher on the subjects of courage, strength, resilience and humor under fire. What would have destroyed most people invigorated, energized and embellished her faith.
   Vicky epitomized the Southern vision of a steel magnolia. She was a lady with immeasurable class and cognizance of social refinements, but with such a deep and unyielding core of strength veiled by that same charm and grace.
   Her love for Ray was evident in everything she did. It was always Ray and Vicky or Vicky and Ray. They came as a set and everyone knew it. Her boys, their wives and the grandchildren and other friends and family were always deeply enveloped within her mind and heart, but Ray was Vicky's spirit. Vicky will always be remembered for the myriad ways in which she impacted so many lives and for the spark that still glows in each of those she touched.
   Memorials may be made to Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 216 South Aspen Street, Lincolnton, NC 28092; Lenoir-Rhyne University, Hickory, NC 28603; Gardner-Webb University, Boiling Spring, NC 28017; or the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, 910 17th Street, N.W., Suite 1190, Washington, DC 20006.
