She was born on December 17, 1952 in Colorado City, Texas at Root M emorial Hospital to Grover and Zelma (Nunn) Crenshaw.  She grew up in Muleshoe, Texas and graduated from Muleshoe High School in 1971.  She attended Texas Tech University.  She later moved to Paris, Texas with her parents where she met and married her firs t husband, Roger Butler, father of their sons Brent and Brian.  After her father passed away, her mother move d from Blossom to the little town of Loraine to be close to her sister, Wanza Graham.  So, Vicki and the boys decided to move to Sweetwater to be n ear her mother.  After moving to Sweetwater, she worked as a hotel desk clerk where she met and fell in love with Joe Gamez, the love of her life. They married on July 19, 1994 in Sweetwater and were a family until his death on November 4, 2019. He was s o good to her and the boys, and later the grand children and great grandchildren.  Vicki began working at the Sweetwater County/City library, which she loved very much and worked until her health began to fail. She kept in touch with family and friends thr ough letters (She had beautiful handwriting and sent the prettiest cards.) , email and Facebook/Facebook Messenger, sharing many pictures of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was so proud of them and her face lit up when she talked ab out them. She loved her family and especially loved family reunions, but was unable to attend the last Cousin Reunion due to her declining health which made her homebound . She was in and out of the hospital numerous times, but would always rally and come home to her family. She was a strong and determined women even though she struggled with her health. D etermined to stay alive until Brent came home.  And that she did! We will miss her sweet and sassy attitude, but she is now in heaven with her fami ly that has gone on before her.  She will be missed by all that knew her.
