Victoria Norio Meiers

Victoria Norio Meiers, age 73, of Montgomery, Alabama passed away on Tuesday, November 12, 2024. She was known as Vicky to all of her family and friends. She was born in the Philippines to Ruperto Norio and Cecilia Gavilo Norio. She was preceded in death by her parents and all of her siblings. She is survived by her husband of 49 years, Lawrence "Larry" Meiers; her children, Benito Digman, Renee (Gale) McCort, and Yvonne Branch; her beloved grandchildren, Calob Hopson, Anna Digman, Ashley Digman, Lilly Kate Branch, and Kendall Branch; as well as her dog, Pogi. She is also survived by many loving family members and friends around the world.

Vicky grew up in Maripipi in the province of Leyte in the Philippines as the youngest of seven children. She met the love of her life, Larry, in 1974 on Clark AFB. Together they built a family and lived a life traveling around the United States and the world while Larry was in the Air Force. They settled in Montgomery, Alabama in 1991. It was then that Vicky worked at both Judy Lynn Children Clothing Company and Cintas before retiring. After retiring, Vicky focused on spending quality time with her family and friends - especially her grandchildren and volunteering many hours at the church.

All those that knew Vicky knew that she was strong in her Catholic faith and was happy to share her love of God with all of those who met her. She would always remind her children, grandchildren, and loved ones to "Go to Church and Pray the Rosary."

Vicky was a proud member of the Filipino-American Association and previously served as treasurer. She was also a proud member of Our Lady Queen of Mercy Catholic Church where she served as a parish council member. She taught Sunday School for many years and was lovingly known as "Mrs. Vicky" to her students.

Vicky will be remembered for her beautiful smile, contagious laugh, her love for her family, warm hugs, and her generosity. She touched many lives and will be missed by all who knew her. The family requests memorials be made by donating blood to the American Red Cross or donations to Catholic Social Services.
