Viki Lyn Searle, a beacon of love and kindness, passed peacefully on January 16, 2026, in Bradenton, FL surrounded by family. Born on June 15, 1946, in Scobey, MT, Viki’s life was a symphony of joy, laughter, and unwavering positivity. Viki, a beloved wife to William Searle, was the heart of her family, a devoted mother to her sons, Damean and Dustin, and a cherished mother-in-law to Tina Lisa Marie. Her love knew no bounds, extending to her brother Ike Cromwell, sister-in-law Myra, her nephews Shane and Jason, her great-nephew Kevin, and her niece Teri, along with Teri’s children, Morgan, Mariel, and Taylor. Her academic journey, which began at Scobey High School and flourished through Northern Montana College and the Minnesota Institute of Medical Technology, was a testament to her commitment to growth and excellence. Viki’s career as a Medical Transcriptionist and later as an Administrative Assistant at Nenana City Public Schools, Homer Middle School, and Homer High School, was marked by the genuine connections she fostered with her colleagues and the students whose lives she impacted. Viki’s zest for life was as infectious as her smile. To speak of her is to speak of warmth, kindness, and friendliness. Her approach to life was simple yet profound: embrace each moment with gratitude, extend a kind hand, and greet everyone with a friendly smile. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. A Celebration of Life will be held in honor of Viki at 2PM on Saturday January 31, 2026, at Brown & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory, 43rd Street Chapel, 604 43rd Street West, Bradenton, FL, 34209.
