Victoria Nicole Benson, 43, passed away at her home on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. She was born in Amory on May 10, 1981 to Richmond Farrell “Slim” and Judith Eubanks Williams. Graduating from Hatley High School, class of 1999, she earned her degree as a Licensed Practical Nurse from ICC in 2007. That same year on October 6, she married John Christopher Benson. Victoria’s calling was to help others, and she loved the thousands of residents she was able to care for. Victoria loved her family fiercely and liked nothing more than to gather around a fire or simply lay in the hammock. She enjoyed the water where she could sit on the sandbar and watch the kids play. She was very artistic and could paint and make crafts. In fact, she could make just about anything except a meal in the kitchen without activating the smoke detectors. She loved hanging out with her sweet Jace and watching scary movies. She was a member of Christian Chapel Church of Christ.
