Victoria Nedane Willis

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Victoria Nedane Willis, who left us on December 13, 2025, at the age of 50. Born on August 15, 1975, in DeRidder, Louisiana, Victoria was a cherished daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and friend.

Victoria was a devoted mom to her only son, Donte Davis, and an adoring grandmother to her two grandsons, who were her everything. She was the loudest cheerleader at every one of their events, always there to support them with love and enthusiasm.

With a passion for adventure, Victoria fell in love with California during her first visit, but her heart belonged to DeRidder, where she lived and made a lasting impact on those around her. She dedicated her life to caring for others through her work as a travel nurse, skillfully working her way up through on-the-job training.

Known for her incredible cooking skills, you could always count on Victoria to bring joy to any gathering with her delicious meals. And let's not forget her love for the color pink, which reflected her vibrant spirit.

Victoria leaves behind her son, Donte Davis of DeRidder, LA; grandsons, Kyree and Amari Davis; father, Hardy Willis of Opelousas, LA; mother, Geraldine Horne of DeRidder, LA; sister, Malinda Willis of Beaumont, TX; a host of nieces, nephews, other family and many dear friends who will miss her immensely.

Victoria will be buried in a private graveside service, where her family will gather to celebrate her legacy, share memories, and support one another as we say our goodbyes.

You will always be remembered, Victoria - your love, laughter, and unwavering support will forever remain in our hearts.
