VICKI L. WATTERS (née Diddle), age 79 of North Olmsted, Ohio, passed away on December 31, 2025, with her husband of 56 years close by and in her heart. Wife of Thomas V. Watters; loving mother of Scott Watters (wife Rachelle) and Shawn Watters (wife Jennifer); devoted grandmother of Samuel, Maximilian, Alexx, and Vivian Watters; cherished daughter of the late Harold T. and Mary M. Diddle (née Wilson); and sister to late older siblings Harold ‘Hap’ T. Diddle Jr. and Wilda "Joyce" Pitello; and beloved by numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. 

Born and raised in East Liverpool, Ohio on October 25, 1946, she was a 1964 graduate of East Liverpool High School. After completing nurses training at East Liverpool City Hospital in 1968, Vicki’s compassion and kindness was reflected in her 44-year career as a Registered Nurse; retiring from the Cleveland Clinic/Fairview Hospital in 2012.

While raising her family in Lakewood, Ohio, Vicki volunteered much of her free time supporting her neighborhood schools and the Lakewood High School sports boosters.

Vicki loved singing and enjoyed music; in particular, Bee Gees and Fleetwood Mac. She expressed her creative side in doing crafts and home decorating. She had a deep fondness for her large extended family, attending family reunions in her hometown. Fun and sociable by nature, Vicki made friends easily and was inclusive to all. She will be fondly remembered for her kind heart, ebullient laughter, generosity, empathy, and unwavering devotion to her family and friends.

A memorial service and interment will be held later this Spring at Columbia County Memorial Park in East Liverpool, Ohio.
