Vicky Jane Cumpton, the daughter of Eugene and LuAnn Newcomb, was born on January 15, 1957; and after receiving her heavenly body, leapt into the arms of her Savior on June 22, 2026 surrounded by loved ones. Little Sister to Genia, and big sister to Ron and Francy.
On May 6 1977 she married Allen Cumpton and from this union she became “Momma” to Tonya, Afton, Larry and Tyler. She was also Momma Vic to so many, resetting souls with a meal and a hug.
Vicky had several careers in her life. Working at Bates County Hospital; in the time of CB handles she had the name of “Bed Pan Annie”. Many years as the manager at Taco Johns. At Head Start she was a Family Care Advocate where she passionately worked alongside parents and high-level executives in the organization to create change, even going to Washington D.C to represent her local Missouri Chapter. Also, being the church and Christian school secretary, she mentored and loved all who needed prayer and that “pick me up” talk that she was so good at with all of us.
Her most beloved job was that of Mom, Nana, Momma Vic and Aunt Vic. The love she had for others was immense and will be felt forever. The calm in the chaos, always knowing the right thing to say; she seemed to “fix” everything. Vicky had a way of making everyone feel special. The epitome of unconditional love; she has received her earthly parade of countless visitors and the amazing memories and things said about her. A non-judgmental woman always having an ear when needed. A shoulder to cry on, the best secret keeper, and a true confidant. Always being there and loving her siblings, in-laws, children, extra children, church kids, grand babies, nieces, nephews, and friends.
Steadfast to her faith, Vicky praised the Lord to the last moments of her life, while we played and sang her favorite gospel songs. While all that knew her mourn her loss deeply, we celebrate her life and riches in Heaven. Greeted on the golden streets by so many family and friends.
There is a hot pot of coffee waiting and the biggest kitchen table.
Vicky is preceded in death by her parents Eugene and LuAnn Newcomb, sister Genia Denzer and brother-in-law John, mother and father-in-law Lloyd and Delores Cumpton, brother-in-law Larry Cumpton, and grandson Hunter Cumpton (who she is rocking and singing Bye-o, bye-o, bye-o baby to)
She is survived by her husband Allen Cumpton (Rich Hill, MO), daughter Tonya Gilkey and husband Nick (Rich Hill), daughter Afton Becker (Harrisonville, MO), son Larry Cumpton and wife Ashley (Rich Hill), Tyler Cumpton and wife Samantha (Rich Hill), sister Francy White and husband Greg (Harrisonville), brother Ron Newcomb and wife Jan (Rich Hill), brothers-and sisters-in-law Albert and Annie Cumpton (Rich Hill), Carol and Bob Allen (McCook, NE), Marcus and Lois Cumpton (Urich, MO), Elaine and Claude Sturm (Freeman, MO), her grandbabies, Tori, Gabe, Michaela, Bryndlyn, Ally, Donna, Matthew and Kaden, and so many nieces and nephews, adopted kids and grandbabies.
What a Day that will be, when our Jesus we shall see.
