VICTORIA MARY LOUISE HEINTZ
March 18, 1947 – October 20, 2026
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our beloved and greatly missed mother, aunt, sister, and friend, Victoria Heintz. Victoria lived effortlessly, loved endlessly, and was the sunshine in the life of many people. Her vivacious personality, and contagious laugh filled any room she was in, and when you spoke to her, she made you feel like you were the most important person in the world. She made you feel comfortable, she made you feel heard, and she would fold you into her family.
Victoria was born on March 18, 1947 in Northhampton, England during the post World War 11 reconstruction in Europe. She was the only daughter of five siblings. She completed her primary and secondary education in England.
She met the love of her life, Tim Heintz, an American GI, at a tea dance in England. It was love at first sight, and shortly after marrying they
emigrated to the United States. They were married for 35 years and had two children.
After her first career in Adminstrative support at General Dynamics in Garland, Texas, her second act was working as an Administrative Assistant at Edward Jones.
Victoria loved to travel, she loved to entertain, she loved music, especially the Beatles, and she loved to spend time with family and friends. Her happy place was being surrounded by family, especially her children. She also loved being outside, taking long walks with her faithful puppy companion, Winston.
Victoria was predeceased by her parents, Bert and Bridget (Dodd) Prickett, her older brothers Jim Dodd (Connie) and John Dodd, her younger brother Archie Prickett (Marilyn), and her husband Timothy Heintz. She is survived by her sibling Patrick Prickett (Anne), her two children Sarah and Matthew (Stephanie) and many loving nieces, nephews and family members across the world.
Victoria is no longer with us, but her smile, her laugh, her stories and her presence live on forever in our hearts. She was ‘practically perfect in every way’.

Vicky was a childhood and life long friend from the same block on Nursery Lane in Northampton England. She was a big part of the Tuck family although not blood relatives. She was like part of the family. God picks the loviest flowers for His garden. You will be missed Vick.

I met her in the neighborhood while we were walking our dogs. She was everything that was said about her. As she would say, such a lovely person. I will miss her and our conversations.
