Victoria Davila

Honoring the Life of Victoria "Vickie" Davila Victoria Davila was born August 24, 1936. She was a retired school bus attendant. She dedicated her entire life to her children - Charisse, Diego, Danny and Jeannie, making sure that they had never gone without, and tried to ensure that they felt immensely loved. This single Mom sacrificed more than we'll ever know, and the love and happiness she brought to her kids cannot be overstated. Victoria was a mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother, a sister, an aunt and a friend to all of us. I'm sure each and every one of you has something to share on how she touched your life. Although she never got the chance, we believe that in her own way, she was able to show us how important each and every one of us were to her. A simple story from her kids... As some of you know (because you were all an intricate part of our lives), in our childhood we always had a great Christmas!! One particular Christmas, Mom had no money for a tree, so she went out and spoke to the guys who sold trees and talked them into giving her parts of the trees they cut and sold (that they didn't want or need). She found two parts of different trees and carried them home and put the two sections together. The two throw away pieces became our Christmas tree that year. We had no clue of the lengths she took to get us a Christmas tree that year. This is just one of the many things she did to give us the best Christmas ever, year after year. Apart from the great Christmases, Mom made sure we were dressed well, had gone to Catholic school and had a rich social life. We had gone to Radio City Music Hall, Classic Symphonies, the Opera, many museums, the zoo, everywhere! We never truly felt poor. We had a great life of riches with truly no money and resources. We were poorer than poor, but the things she did with so little, were true miracles. And the love was endless! Everyone who was fortunate to know her was in awe of her kindness, sincere dedication to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren - and her great sense of humor. She taught us strength, humility, sharing, trust and love in every depth possible. We may no longer see her physically, but we'll always have our special memories of her in our hearts. We love her more than words could ever express and she will live in our hearts forever. Please leave the family a note of condolence, or light a candle of remembrance. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested the a donation be made to the Alzheimer's Association in her name.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way , the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
