Vikki Beckner, age 77, passed away June 4, 2026 in Overland Park, KS.

Vikki was born in Clay Center, KS to Harry and Jeannette Valentine on August 18, 1948. 

Vikki loved unconditionally; family, friends, nature, birds and a stranger with a story. A kind heart, a curious mind, a good laugh and a bright spirit. She loved philosophy, sitting by a creek, family and above all else her grandchildren. 

She is preceded in death by her mother Jeannette Valentine and father Harry Valentine. 

Vikki is survived by her husband Patrick Beckner, her daughter Kristen Hipp, her sons Sean and Matthew Beckner, her grandchildren Madelaine and Savannah Block, Lincoln, Canton and Isla Beckner, her brothers Ned and Art Valentine and her sister Martha Dorssom.
