Vickie Lynne Stumpe

Vickie was born on November 1, 1954, in Burley, Idaho the eldest child of Richard and Kathryn Goodfellow. She was brought up on the family farm surrounded by animals, hard work, and her loving siblings. After Vickie graduated from Burley High School she left the farm to study Elementary Education at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho, eventually transferring to Brigham Young University to finish her degree.

While attending BYU, Vickie met Reg and they married in 1979 in the Idaho Falls Temple. Soon after they started their family together in Provo. In 1983 the family moved into the house they had built in the then small town of Lindon, Utah. Vickie and Reg, and their six boys, would continue to live there for the next 30 years amassing a great deal of warm friendships and neighborly relationships through church and community.

Vickie was a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and His teachings. Throughout her life she served in many callings, perhaps most remembered for her piano and organ playing in all facets of the church from sacrament meeting, to primary, and baptisms. She also served as a Cub Scout leader for many years, in both Utah and Texas. She was a faithful member of the Relief Society heeding any call to service whenever she was called upon.

As a mom and homemaker Vickie was dedicated and caring. She brought her upbringing from the farm to the Stumpe home. The house was often filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread from scratch, baked cookies and treats, and home cooked meals. Her six boys were a handful but she cooked, cleaned, ran errands, helped with schoolwork, and drove the boys to their various activities, including a countless number of soccer games, willingly and good-heartedly, even though at times it was a thankless duty. For many years, she also worked as a substitute elementary school teacher in Alpine School District.

Vickie had a passion for music, especially for the piano. The house was often filled with music coming from the living room where Vickie could be found practicing church hymns, teaching lessons, or simply playing for pure enjoyment. When the boys were a little older she acquired several electronic pianos/keyboards and filled a room in the basement with them and started her venture into Vickie’s Music Garden where she would teach several students at once, sort of in a classroom style. Always desiring to learn and grow, Vickie continued her education, acquiring certificates, broadening her teaching skills, and learning more about music theory and practice.

Throughout the years, Vickie was always a devoted gardener. In Lindon, the family was blessed with a sizable garden–which they were all responsible for tending to–that produced a variety of homegrown vegetables ranging from corn, cucumbers, peas, strawberries, and possibly her favorite, tomatoes. She would use the homegrown produce in family meals, juices, jams, canning, and food storage, all skills the family was immensely blessed from. She especially loved her flower beds where she grew beautiful flowers and could often be found in the warm months tending to. She also enjoyed growing lots of herbs, which she freely shared with anyone who wanted some.

While always into family history and genealogy, Vickie, in recent years, began taking classes online to acquire a certificate in Family History Research from BYU Pathway Connect. She avidly worked on her family history compiling information that would help future generations and in aid in the Church’s work.

Vickie loved her grandchildren and spending time with them. Her only wish would have been that all six of her boys would have given her six grandchildren each.

Everyone that knew Vickie would say that she was a sweet and compassionate person. She loved her family, neighbors, fellow church members, and the young children of the church. She saw good in every person. Her home and yard was welcoming and filled with the friends of her six boys throughout the years. She enjoyed playing board games with her family whenever she could. She was playful, smart, and good humored.

Vickie’s mother, Kathryn (Frost) Goodfellow, passed away three years earlier in May 2020. It is clear that Kathryn appreciated Vickie and admired how she lived her life and raised her children.

Vickie is survived by her father, Richard Goodfellow; her five siblings, Rick Goodfellow, Shelly Struchen, Guy Goodfellow, Gwen Cracroft, and Shane Goodfellow; her husband, Reg Stumpe; her six boys, Scott (Karen), Michael (Chalece), Allan, Danny, David (Blake), and Matthew; her six grandkids and one on the way, Jaylee, Kyson, Kinsley, Hayven, Hollyn, Adley, and Charlie, who is on her way. Also, through Scott’s marriage to Karen she has four adult grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.
