Victoria Gadson's Obituary
Victoria Gadson was born March 26th, 1938, in Beaufort South Carolina. She was the daughter of the late Roy and Geneva Freeman (Tiny), of Charleston S.C. Victoria was the 2nd oldest of 9 children. As one of the oldest children she was affectionately known as Vick and had the privilege of being raised and reared not only by God-fearing parents, but her great grandparents Caesar and Annie Evans, the grandparents of Tiny.
She was educated at Beaufort County Training School and graduated from College of Walterboro South Carolina as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Vick worked for over 25 years at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Healthcare was her passion. She wore many career hats all throughout her life. She was well known and deeply loved throughout her community.
She loved serving the Lord. She attended Huspah Baptist church in Gardens Corner S.C. She was a devoted member and served faithfully on the usher board. Vick sang in the choir and cherished praising the Lord. Additionally, she served on several committees and always enjoyed helping others. But what she loved the most was her relationship with the Lord.
Vick had many hobbies including planting in her garden, attending to her flower bed, baking, and sewing. "Let's Go To The country" the family would say! Where family and friends would have a huge cookout in Vick's front yard laughing, dancing and just doing whatever makes them happy.
