Mrs. Benita Mae Vickers, 55, of Corbin, passed away Friday morning, August 1, 2025 at Baptist Health Corbin. She was born June 7, 1970 in Ft. Campbell, the daughter of the late Edward “Joe” and Maggie Lou McDairies Marsee.
Benita was an employee of Makers Pride, a Mary Kay Associate and a believer of the Baptist faith. She found joy in life’s simplest pleasures, taking evening car rides to nowhere and everywhere, a nice ice cream and a good game of rummy. She was known to have a true servant’s heart and would do anything for her family and coworkers. With quiet determination, she once learned a new language in order to better communicate and connect with her coworkers. If you knew her, you loved her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
On June 17, 2018, she united in marriage with Brady Vickers in London.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her grandparents, Eula Mae and Willie McDaries and Provie and Charlie Marsee.
