Victoria Rosetta Williams Weems

Victoria Rosetta Williams Weems 72, of Harrisburg, PA, transitioned on Wednesday, March 19, 2025. Victoria (AKA Miss Vikki) was born Patsy Rae Lane on May 28, 1952. She was the daughter of Angeline Lane and Raymond Anderson. She was adopted in April 1953 by a kind and loving couple Nelson G. and Queenie Howard Williams. The Williams, unable to have children of their own, provided Vikki with a lifetime of love and care. Vikki lived much of her life battling Lupus and Sjogren’s Disease and in later years diminished eyesight and failing kidneys. She faced these challenges with grace, courage, and dignity, despite pain and depression. She passed peacefully from complications of COVID and the forementioned pre-existing conditions while at UPMC Memorial Hospital in York, PA. Vikki was educated and graduated from the Harrisburg Public School System. Her love for children led her to pursue work in the field of Early Childhood Education with the Head-Start Program, initially as a teacher and later as Educational Coordinator. On July 22nd, 1972, she married her high school sweetheart, Nathaniel Weems Sr. A beautiful union that would last nearly 53 years. They were blessed on January 9th, 1974, with their only son, Nathaniel Weems, Jr., whom she cherished like no other. Vikki’s love and loyalty built many life-long friendships. Vikki is preceded in death by her adopted parents Nelson and Queenie Williams, a brother Larry Lane and cousin Billie Dennis who was like a sister. She leaves to cherish her memory: her husband and best friend Minister Nathaniel Weems Sr, their son Nathaniel Weems Jr., 2 grandsons; Isiah and Jonah and a granddaughter Tatiana all of Harrisburg, PA, a brother Ronnie Lane, 3 sisters; Winifred Greene, Toni Ann Mosten (Raymond), Gloria Sweet, and cousins who were more like sisters, Claudia, Jeannie, Sharon and Shelia along with a large host of loving relatives, friends and in-laws.
