Obituary

Vicki Jean Harris was born on July 31, 1946 to George and Maxine (Chittenden) Harris in Thomas, OK, and she left her earthly home on Monday, May 10, 2021 in Weatherford, OK having reached the age of 74 years, 9 months 10 days.

Vicki was raised in Thomas and was a member of the 1964 graduating class of Terriers. After high school, Vicki married her high school sweetheart, Bill Litsch, on October 2, 1964.  The couple was happily married for 56 years!  The couple made their home in Oklahoma City for two years.  During this time, Vicki attended cosmetology school.  When the couple returned to Thomas in 1966, Vicki opened a beauty shop where she worked for 10 years.  She was a member of the Thomas First Baptist Church.   In October of 1968, Vicki went to work for the City of Thomas as the Economic Development Coordinator and later for the Chamber of Commerce.  During her time in this role, Vicki brought in over 2 million dollars in Economic grants for the City of Thomas.  She was instrumental in the construction of the new Fay Bridge, the Thomas ballfields, and bringing countless new business to the community.   She was active on the Thomas Economic Development Association board, the Director of the Thomas Sr. Citizens, and responsible for annual Community stew and chili supper.  She was also known for her role as the Easter Bunny at the annual egg hunt for the last 37 years.  She officially retired in 2011 from this role but remained active in community activities.   As much as Vicki thrived in this role, her most prized role was that of mom and Nana.   She loved her children fiercely and would do anything to make their lives easier or embarrass them.  Vicki was not only mom to her children but countless others.  She and Bill served many years as class parents and supported the Terriers any way possible.  Vicki was frequently called upon to sew costumes for the school plays, and any other task that needed to be completed.   Vicki was a huge Terrier fan and hated missing any event her children or grandchildren were in.  Vicki was known as "Nana V" to countless other children and supported them in any way she could.   She was always the first to help anyone in need with food, clothing, or running errands for them.   She was a superhero to some and a legend to others, but definitely one of a kind to all.  She will be greatly missed.

Vicki is survived by her husband, Bill of the home, four sons, Sid Litsch of Thomas, Shane Litsch of Edmond, Slade Litsch, and Marcus Litsch and wife Mercedes of Thomas, three grandchildren, Jimmie Litsch, Levi Stewart and Kade Litsch; four great grandchildren, Oakley and McClayne Litsch and Treylon and Trew Pool; two brothers, Sam Harris and wife Paula of Coral Springs, FL; Ron Harris of Scottsdale, AZ.   She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Maxine Harris and one daughter, Heather DeHaven.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Thomas First Baptist Church.
