Victoria Lynn Clouse was a beautiful blue-eyed blond who made everyone laugh.  When she arrived, wherever she went-the room lit up, just like the world did when she was born.

She was the curly-haired daughter of Richard and Dorothy Saxe, born March 24, 1946.  She had a wonderful life (her last words). She was a mentor, a confidant, a best friend.  She was faithful.  She excelled as an activist, a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and devoted wife to Dean Clouse.

She made her impression in the world.  She built a house with her own hands, partied at Woodstock, rode horses, was a lifeguard in Hawaii and fought forest fires.  Her sense of humanity and devotion to our earth was impressive.  She was a hippie with a cause-always!  Oversized sunglasses and big floppy hats were her trademarks, even before they were cool.  She was a creative, opinionated problem solver everyone respected and loved.  Compassionate to the end.  Vicky is forever in our hearts.  We will miss you deeply.

There will be a private graveside for family and friends on Wednesday, August 5, at 11am in the Lompoc Evergreen Cemetery.
