Vickie Rae Archibald, age 81, peacefully passed away on June 21, 2025, at the Cedarwood Memory Care facility in Sandy, Utah, following a courageous battle with memory loss.
Born on June 23, 1943, in Thatcher, Utah, to Alan Everard and Alice Erma Anderson Roche, Vickie was the youngest of 15 siblings, including Phyllis Valentine, Juanita Evans, Blanche Pledger, Ora Lewis, Vern Roche, Margie Peters, Ruth Steed, Doug Roche, Milton Roche, Jean Barns, Janice Chournos, Frank Roche, Mickey Newman, and Connie Fridal.
On August 5, 1957, she married Monte Archibald, and together they cherished their home in Plymouth, Utah, where they raised four children. Vickie dedicated part of her career working alongside Monte at the Garland Sugar Factory and later found joy in her role as a housekeeper. Her commitment to her community was exemplified through her service as the Relief Society President of the Belmont First Ward in the late 1970s.
Vickie was well-known for her love of baking, particularly her scrumptious cinnamon rolls, pumpkin rolls, and holiday candies. Despite facing the profound loss of several loved ones throughout her life, she maintained an uplifting spirit, often reminding others to “make it a good day!”
She is survived by her daughter, Robyn Vanderhoof; stepson, Larry Call; grandchildren, Mikala Archibald, Skyler (Trey) Vanderton, Montgomery Sparks, Rogen Bowden, Madeline and Marshall Wirz; and her sister, Connie Fridal. Vickie was preceded in death by her daughters, Rachel Wirz and Ruthie Rae; son, Roger; husband, Monte; and many brothers and sisters.
Funeral services to honor Vickie's life will take place on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with a viewing held prior from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM at Rudd Funeral Home in Tremonton (111 N 100 E, Tremonton). Interment will follow at the Plymouth Cemetery.
