Vicky Drapeau

Vicky Lee Drapeau, age 70, of Peoria, Arizona, passed away peacefully at her residence on February 2, 2026. She was born on March 20, 1955, in Manhattan, Kansas, to David and Ruth Drapeau.

A woman of profound faith, Vicky loved God deeply and dedicated her life to sharing that joy by leading others to the Lord. Known for her kindness, self-sacrifice, and many talents, she was a gifted artist who found peace in life's simple pleasures- especially carrying on the family tradition of fishing with loved ones. Her unwavering devotion, unconditional love, and lifelong mission to bring friends and family to Christ left an indelible mark on all who knew her. Above all, Vicky cherished her family as her greatest treasure and source of joy.

She is survived by her three children: Janelle Gage, Daniel Gage (Julie), and Alisa McAllister (Don) and her sister, Cynthia McKechnie; her brother, Kirk Drapeau (Angie).

Vicky was the proud grandmother of eight grandchildren: Shaelen Senk (Sean), Jamie Gage, Courtney Jennings (Mark), Audrey Pansza (Brent), Donny, Maisie, and Charles McAllister, and Dalton Henke. Her legacy continues through her eight great-grandchildren: Isaiah S., Jeffrey and Jackson Judge, Sky, Zia and Ari Jennings, Ryder Stenzel, and the soon-to-be-born Eliza Dugwyler.

She also held deep love for her extended family, including nephews Patrick McKechnie, Parker and Hunter Drapeau, and niece Olivia Drapeau.

Vicky was preceded in death by her parents, David and Ruth Drapeau.
