Victoria Deeb Casper Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Victoria "Vicky" Deeb Casper was a loved daughter, cousin, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend. She passed away on February 4, 2022 at the age of 74. She was surrounded by family in the days prior to her passing. She was born on February 17, 1947. She would be raised by her mother, Helen along with her step fathers: Joseph Deeb until his death in 1962 and later Jim McFadin, both of whom she loved dearly. She was a 1965 Graduate of the Academy of Our Lady in Peoria. She was married to Steve Casper. She had 1 son: James Casper. She would later be engaged to James Kern until his passing in 1995. Vicky loved to bake cakes, creating delicious centerpieces for friend's and family's birthdays, weddings and special occasions. She worked her way up from a switchboard operator for 1st National bank in downtown Peoria (later Commerce Bank) to customer relations at Central Illinois Bank. She eventually retired from Busey Bank in Morton, Illinois after 30 plus years in banking. She was often described as "not knowing a stranger" for her ability to talk to people and make conversation with anyone. However, her best and favorite role was clearly as a grandmother, or "Grandma Casper." She is survived by her mother, Helen; son, James; daughter-in-law, Caroline; 2 grandsons, Steven and Jackson; her sister Cathy Sullivan (and her family husband: Tom, children: Joe,and Erin); and her cousin, Becky Cavitt. A private service will be held at St Joseph's cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the St. Jude's Children's Hospital on her behalf. Schmidt-Haller Burial and Cremation Services is in charge of arrangements.
