Frieda Davis Vick

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Frieda Davis Vick, who departed this world on January 30, 2026, at the age of 96. Born in Charlotte October, 31, 1929, to Florence Atlee Davis and Mary Adeline Todd Davis, she is preceded in death by her beloved siblings: Herbert Carl Davis, Leonard Harrell Davis, Charles Clifton Davis, Lillian Davis Brumley, and Fred Alton Davis. Frieda leaves behind a loving family that includes her daughter, Teresa Vick Williams (Robert), and her son, William Thomas Vick, Jr., and daughter-in-law Susan Brandt Vick. She was the proud grandmother of three granddaughters: Kristen Davis Williams (Bill Rawson), Lauren Elizabeth Vick, and Kathryn Lynn Vick. Additionally, she is survived by her nephew John Brumley (Ann), niece Brenda Mackey, and nieces Teri Bunder and Amy Golden. Frieda also had a special bond with her dogs, Luke Vick Williams and Finn McLaurin Williams, and her honorary grandchildren. Frieda's career began at a bank in Charlotte, where her engaging personality allowed her to connect with everyone, including the famed journalist Charles Kuralt. As a homemaker, she had a knack for making people feel welcome, loved, and well-fed, and was renowned for her entertaining spirit. When she wasn’t curled up on the couch with a book or a word search, she was enjoying her haint-blue porch and bird-watching. She often patrolled her yard with pruning shears in one hand and a cigarette in the other. A life-long sports lover, she was an avid golfer, once making a hole in one, loved cheering on her Clemson tigers, and attended many of her grandchildren’s sporting events. Frieda was a gifted conversationalist, a stylish woman and a warm, inviting presence who adopted many as her own. Her love for her family and friends radiated, and she was loved just as fiercely in return. In her final days, the family expresses profound gratitude to Hospice of Davidson County, who provided care and compassion, easing Frieda's transition with kindness and peace. The love and support from family and friends have been an immense comfort, reminding us of how deeply she was cherished. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. Jude's Children's Hospital and the Humane Society of Charlotte, as a tribute to Frieda's generous spirit. A private memorial service will be held to honor Frieda's remarkable life. She touched the lives of everyone she met with her warmth, kindness, and indomitable spirit. If you were one of her people, you know how deeply you were loved.
