Vicki Lynn Powell: A pillar of the community and a celebration of life

 

We are sad to announce the death of our dearest Vicki “Micki” Lynn Powell, who passed away in Denver, CO on Friday, December 23, 2022.  She died of complications following a brief stay at the ICU for a short-term illness.  Vicki was born on September 2, 1961, in Brighton, CO, after which her family moved to Boulder County.  Vicki spent her entire life in the Lafayette/Louisville community.  She graduated from Centaurus High School in 1979 and was an NCAA Division I Track and Field athlete at Utah State.  Vicki was a dedicated and impactful high school counselor at Brighton High School for 21 years and a highly decorated track and field coach for 30 years.  She was recognized as the Boulder County Track and Field Honorary Coach of the year in 2022.

Vicki was a positive person who saved lives and cared deeply about people.  She loved animals, angels, coaching, her home on Baseline Road, game nights, watching movies, the Denver Broncos, scratch tickets, and spending time with friends.  She was a funny and trusted confidant as well as a guiding light to all.  Vicki was preceded in death by her grandmother Myra Anderson; her mother Ilene Powell; and her brother Philip Powell.  She is survived by her niece and nephews, Billie Rae, Danny, and Cody Powell; a close circle of friends whom she cherished like sisters; and her two beloved cats, Smokey, and Baby J, who have been adopted into a new loving home.

In order to honor Vicki’s memory, we are holding a celebration of life on Saturday, January 21, 2023, at Darrell Howe Mortuary at 1701 W South Boulder Road, Lafayette, CO 80026.  We invite anyone who wants to celebrate the memory of Vicki to attend and remember her wonderful life.  We welcome attendees to dress casually.  This event will be an open house/gallery walk between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.  Please join us at any time during that time period; there is no formal start time.  Please park in the back parking lot or on the streets nearby.
