Victoria "Vikki" Rose, of Rome, Ohio, passed away on March 4, 2026, at her daughter's home, surrounded by her loved ones. She was born on January 21, 1961, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Samuel G. Eads (1944–1980) and Katherine H. Eads (1944–1991).
Vikki dedicated more than 25 years of her professional life to Reebok (Adidas), beginning her career in packing and working her way up to a management position. She took great pride in her strong work ethic and the lasting relationships she built throughout her career.
After retiring, Vikki devoted herself fully to her family. She spent countless cherished hours raising her two youngest grandsons, Damon and Kylan Caywood, until her health no longer allowed her to continue. In her final year, she lived in Ohio under the loving care of her daughter, son-in-law and step grandson, Samantha, Chris, and Dylan Reel.
Vikki found joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved gambling (high roller) and trying her luck, spending time in the pool and near the water, traveling, and watching soap operas. Halloween was her favorite holiday, and she enjoyed the greener things in life. Above all, she treasured time with her family and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life.
She is survived by her children, Samantha Reel (Chris Reel) and Jeffrey Caywood; her grandchildren, Marisa Beatty, Cole Beatty, Damon Caywood, Kylan Caywood, and Abby Caywood; and her great-grandchildren, Eden Valentine and Ellie Valentine. She is also survived by her siblings, Daniel Eads and Melissa Eads.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Samuel and Katherine Eads, and her brothers, David Eads and Matthew Eads.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Hospice of the Western Reserve for the compassionate care provided to Vikki during her final days and to Cyndi Tomasek for the care you provided to her.
Vikki will be remembered for her strength, her love of family, and her vibrant spirit. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
