Vicki (Lesar) Bolen Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Vicki L. (Lesar) Bolen, 68 of Shattuc, peacefully passed away February 28, 2020 at Saint Louis University Hospital following a short illness. Vicki was born at the Cairo Hospital on August 17, 1951 to Leland “Did” and Irma “Vick” Lesar. She married Gary D. Bolen on July 29th, 1977; he survives. In addition to her husband Gary, Vicki is survived by her brother Jerry (the late Karen) Smithey of Jefferson City, TN, daughter Leigh Ann Kleiboeker and her special friend Jenn Lively of Nashville, daughter Amy (Chris) Conrad of Highland, step-daughter Laurie Bolen of Fairfield, and step-son Gary (Judith) Bolen of Englewood, FL, granddaughter Olivia Conrad, grandson Aiden Conrad, granddaughter Hailey Bolen, and granddaughter Paige Bolen. Vicki graduated from Egyptian High School, Tamms, IL in 1969. Vicki had several careers during her lifetime, but enjoyed her time serving the elderly at Centralia Manor and Carlyle Healthcare before serving the public as a 911 Dispatcher for Clinton County Sheriff’s Department, where she retired in 2011. Vicki enjoyed motorcycle trips with her husband Gary, going boating with her grandkids and spoiling her dogs. Water and water sports were always a source of enjoyment, and summer weekends were often spent in the pool and visiting with friends on the porch in between dips in the water. She was an avid reader and embraced the technology of Facebook to keep up with distant friends and family, and in recent years forwarding Russian propaganda to annoy and embarrass her daughters. Vicki was always quick with a joke and embraced all who visited. Her sassy but welcoming personality will be greatly missed. Friends and family may call between 11am and 1pm followed by a celebration of remembrance at 1pm, Saturday, March 7th, 2020 at Shattuc United Methodist Church, Shattuc, IL.

Memorials may be made to Clinton County Humane Society by mail to 1301 Apple Lane, Breese, IL 62230 or online at: www.ccilhs.org/how-to-help/
