Victoria French

A mother holds her children's hands for a little while and their hearts forever ..... Our hearts were broken on Saturday, February 13, 2021 as our Mom, Victoria (Deretz) French, 83, of Windham, Pa was reunited with our Dad and brother Jeff. Vicky was born on October 15, 1937 in Nanty-Glo, Pennsylvania a daughter of Ernest and Agnes (Donaldson) Deretz. At a young age, Vicky left school to care for others and to raise her family. She always treasured her family and had a caring heart towards others. Vicky was a collector of angels, enjoyed crocheting and coloring. Mom's last few years, were spent at the Bradford County Manor. We are so very thankful for the love and care that she received while there. Mom always greeted everyone with a warm smile. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go along, for part of us went with you the day God called you home. Vicky will be greatly missed by her children: Norman (Polly) French; Joanne Allis; Vicky (Rich) Wagner; her special grandchildren: April (Kristopher); Suzi; Amy (Brett); Norman, Cassie (Brent); Scott; Jennifer (Rich); Cody (Kirsten); seventeen great grandchildren; her sisters-in-law: Mary Etta Deretz and Beth French; a brother-in-law: Charlie Briggs. Her aunt and uncle: Gert and Tom Donaldson; several nieces, nephews and their families also survive. Vicky was predeceased by her husband of 57 years, Norman L. French; a son Jeff; twin brothers Dwayne and Dwight Deretz.
