Victoria Elizabeth Martina, Perdue retiree
Victoria “Vicki” Elizabeth Martina, 79, passed away suddenly Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024, surrounded by her family. She was born in Charleston, W. Va., daughter of the late James Romie Price and Rebecca Lee Gumm.
Vicki graduated from Ravenswood High School in Ravenswood, W.Va., and attended Potomac State College in Keyser, W.Va., where she met Vincent (Vince) Martina. They married Sept. 4, 1965, and had two children, Julie and Tony. They divorced in 1983 but remained close raising their children and grandchildren.
Vicki was employed in 1982 by Perdue in Salisbury, Md., where she worked in multiple capacities and advanced her career, ending in sales. She was very well respected and loved by all those who had the pleasure of working with her. She retired in 2008.
In 2012, Vicki moved to Rehoboth Beach, where she met her soul mate Nancy Hewish. In June 2017, they were married in their beautiful backyard. They have enjoyed trips to Iceland, Norway, the Caribbean and Alaska. Family vacations, holidays, birthdays, and grandkids' sporting events kept them busy and very happy. Vicki and Nancy connected and were so compatible because of their love of family. They are always entertaining friends and offering a helpful hand when needed.
One of Vicki’s favorite pastimes outside of spending time with family was her love for golf. She played in many golf leagues through the years. She was a member of the Ocean City Golf Club and also more recently spent a few years playing in Kings Creek Country Club, where in 2018 she was the Ladies Net Champion. She also enjoyed anything outdoors especially offshore fishing. She even owned a 22-foot Grady White boat, which she often took offshore fishing.
Vicki is preceded in death by her brother, Stephen Courtney Price. She is survived by her daughter, Julie (Quinn Johnson); son, Tony ( Cassie); grandchildren, Caitie (Ethan Malone), Kelsey (Dalton Church) Sam Quinton (Samantha), Allie, Gracie, Olivia and Anthony; great-grandchildren, Reid, Harper, Savannah, Easton and Macie; her brother, Gregory Price (Tucson, Ariz.); beloved wife, Nancy Hewish; and Charley their rescue dog.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 21, at Epworth United Methodist Church, 19285 Holland Glade Road, Rehoboth Beach.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to CAMP Rehoboth, 37 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971
