Victoria L. King found peace on November 5, 2024, at the age of 69.

Born in Arkansas to Rev. Wilbert C. King and Athray J King. Victoria received her spiritual foundation as a Christian from her father. She received her education in Chicago,  Illinois, where Vicky went on to become an entrepreneur, and a well-known celebrity hair stylist, for 40 plus years as (VICKYDUMAHAIR/GLAMAH). Vicky was a breast cancer survivor who was also a nonprofit owner (Taken it to the Streets).

Victoria became a mother while still young herself. Life did not always give her abundance, but she made the best of what she could. Her strength and tenacity were gifts to us, her children, who grew up witnessing a woman determined to carve her own path lead by God. She taught us invaluable lessons about self-reliance and the importance of living authentically.

Vicky was a woman whose spirit embodied freedom. She lived her life boldly, Unapologetically, and always on her own terms. Her journey was one of resilience and fierce, independent, a path she walked with courage all on her own.

Survived by loving husband Craig Shelton. Eldest daughter Lynette (Christopher) Patterson, Utica King, Vera Payton, Craig Earl Payton Jr. (Preceded in death). Adoring Grandchildren Bennie, Montreal, Crystal, Nikehona, Tonisha, Lee, Doekwan, Quinniaza, Devon, Diamond, and Jeremy, Antonio (Preceded in death). Siblings Gracie Mae (Preceded in death) Cynthia (Bernard) McCann, Wilma (Keith) Maynie, Shelia (Steve) King-Slater, Carla (the late Sam) Chambers, Michael King (only brother), Vantanett (Lawrence) Moore, Rebecca (Trent) Cooper. Special god son Christian. Further survived by many great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends.

Preceded in death by her mom and dad, grandparents, her eldest sister Gracie Mae, only son Craig Earl Payton Jr, and grandson Antonio.

Victoria King lives on, not just as a memory but as a legacy of strength and grace. We honor her today, remembering her free spirit and the life she led on her own terms.

Visitation will be held at Krause Funeral Home, 21600 West Capitol Drive, Brookfield, Wisconsin, on Sunday, November 24, 2024, 12:00 PM – 12:45 PM. Memorial Service at 1:00 PM.
