Vickie Jane Lundberg, 68, of Newton died on Friday, May 6, 2022, at MercyOne Medical Center in Des Moines.
Vickie, the daughter of Kermit and Mildred (Franklin) Coomer, was born the youngest of three girls on August 11, 1953, in Grinnell, joining her older sisters, Connie and Patricia. She was raised in Kellogg where she and her sisters were referred to as the “Sisters of Saint Kellogg.” At the age of 10, her daddy, Kermit, died suddenly. Her mother, Millie, later remarried and not only did Vickie gain a loving dad in Lyle Blum, but also two more siblings, Terry and Mary. The family moved to Newton and Vickie graduated from Newton High School in the class of 1971.
On January 19, 1974, Vickie was united in marriage with Al Lundberg in Newton.
She was also a devoted care taker to her mother, Millie, as she aged. They would go on quite the adventures together.
For just short of 20 years, Vickie and her significant other, Keith Beal, have enjoyed life together. They would travel, go to Prairie Meadows, and out to eat. Vickie also enjoyed decorating graves and going on shopping trips. Keith doted on her and was by her side for those excursions too, even though he would jokingly try to get out of them. Vickie was known to keep a meticulous house and couldn’t possibly sit to watch a show without having to get up to clean or do something. She was always taking care of everything around her.
Vickie’s care and compassion for others will continue on in her family including her significant other, Keith Beal of Newton; sons, Brian (Sirena) Lundberg and Brett (Chantelle) Lundberg, both of Newton; Keith’s children , Leslie (Scott) Christiansen of Plano, Texas and Brian (Wendy) Beal of Urbandale; her grandchildren, Noele Lundberg, Dylann Beiner, Derek Beiner, Chase Lundberg, Dakota Dawson, Zayne Beal, Aiden Christiansen and Camden Christiansen; siblings, Terry (Joy) Blum of Tabernash, Colorado, Connie Dengler of Tampa, Florida, Patricia McPherren (Steve Schoenfeld) of Boynton Beach, Florida, and Mary (Joel) Rich of Omaha, Nebraska; and her many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Kermit Coomer and Lyle and Mildred Blum; brother-in-law, Bill Dengler; and nephew, Seth Rich.
