The sun shone a bit less brightly on November 15, 2025 with the passing of Victoria Evers Dunn whose smile always brightened those around her.

Funeral services will be December 13 at 1:30 pm at St. John’s Catholic Church, 7601 Vine St. in Lincoln. A rosary will precede the funeral at 1:00 pm.

Vicky grew up in Grand Island, Nebraska as the second of three daughters born to Betty and Hubert Evers. She attended Blessed Sacrament Grand School and Grand Island Senior High School. Vicky attended Kearney State College where she majored in journalism and was an active member of Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority. She graduated in May 1973.

After college, she married Bill Dunn in Grand Island. They lived in Lincoln where Vicky worked for KLIN radio. Vicky and Bill then lived in Cedar Rapids, IA, Melbourne, FL and eventually relocated to Orange, CA where Vicky lived for over 20 years.

In 2009, Vicky moved back to Lincoln to be closer to family. Never one to sit still, Vicky was dedicated employee at Nelnet until the time of her death, and was a tireless and cheerful volunteer at St. John’s Catholic Church, University Place, and the Alzheimer’s Association. She was a devoted mother and a cherished friend whose kindness shaped every room she entered. Her love for her family was unwavering, and her friendships were built on genuine care, laughter, and deep connection. She gave so much of herself to the people she loved, and her presence will be missed by all who knew her.

In 2019, Vicky was diagnosed with cancer. Through her strong faith and excellent medical care, she achieved total remission and didn’t miss a beat with her work and volunteer life until the cancer reappeared just a few weeks ago.

Vicky is survived by son Jamie, daughter-in-law, Honor and their daughters Chloe and Harper; daughter Angie and her fiancé Sam Holzinger; sister Fran, brother-in-law, Randy Horst; and niece Stephanie Thurber. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister Chris.
