Vicky Heckel

Vicky Rhea (Welbes) Heckel, 67, peacefully passed away Saturday, August 31, 2019, surrounded by family, after a long courageous battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Born to Richard A. and Velda (Ravenscroft) Welbes in Miles City, MT on March 30, 1952, she joined a brother Richard Welbes and a sister Diane Welbes. The family lived in Miles City where she attended Sacred Heart Elementary and graduated high school in 1970. Vicky worked as a waitress in her father's cafe, as a bank teller and spent many years in the retail industry. As the MS progressed, she spent time working as an insurance processor. Vicky married Randy Moan and they welcomed a daughter, Lynda Moan. Vicky later married Jack Heckel and out of that union they welcomed twins, Amanda and Levi Heckel. Vicky loved to travel, whether it was to the coast or back home to Miles City for the Bucking Horse Sale. Family reunions and Christmas were special to her because she knew she would be able to spend with family and friends. She enjoyed watching cooking shows and spent hours looking at cooking magazines. She was always up for a visit from family and friends. She always felt most blessed when she was with her grandchildren. Dahl Funeral Chapel has been entrusted with the memorial services. We will celebrate Vicky's life on Friday September 6, 2019 at 2pm with a reception to follow at the Columbia Club at 2216 Grand Ave. Vicky leaves behind her sister, Diane Welbes; daughters, Lynda (Waylan) Charlton and Amanda Heckel; son, Levi (Jodie) Heckel; and her grandchildren, Alexander Morledge, Sora Heckel, Isabelle and Alliyah Lich. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Richard. Donations may be made to the MS Society. Please share thoughts and memories at www.dahlfuneralchapel.com
