Vinia Presley

Vinia "Vi" Marie Presley was born on February 13, 1936, to Joe and Alma Hignite. She would pass from this life and meet her Lord on August 23, 2023.

Vi was preceded in death by her parents Joe and Alma Hignite.

Those left behind to cherish Vi's memories are her husband of 70 years Bill Presley; her children Terri Presley of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and Chris Presley and Rhonda of Stilwell, Oklahoma; five grandchildren William Parker, Allen Parker, Andrew Parker, Tyler Presley and Claire Presley; two sisters Bernice Allbright and Gussie Brown; one brother Joe Howard Hignite; nine great grandchildren; and a host of other family and friends.

Bill and Vi were married March 28, 1953, and happily celebrated 70 years of marriage. She worked as a florist for 14 years and really enjoyed cooking and gardening. Vi could grow just about anything and really put her heart into loving her plants. She was also a member of the Rock Springs Baptist Church.

Vi really loved all her grandchildren. Spending time with her family is exactly what made Vi's heart happy. Her own words in the writings she gave for after her passing are "Family is what counts... Stay close".

Vi's biggest hope she would want everyone to take from her funeral is that she wouldn't want anyone to be sad for too long and everyone remember the love, laughter, and the memories shared, and she didn't want anyone to make a "big fuss" over her.
