Vicki (Victoria) Arrington Land

Funeral service for Mrs. Vicki Land will be 3 p.m., Sunday, August 29, at Faith Presbyterian Church.

Visitation will be from 2 p.m. until the time of the service.

Vicki (Victoria) Arrington Land went peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior on August 26, 2021.

She was preceded in death by her parents Mr. & Mrs. A.C. Arrington and a brother and sister-in-law,

Mr. & Mrs. Clark Arrington. She is survived by her husband of 51 years, Michael Wayne Land, two

daughters: Brandy Elizabeth Land Johnson (Marcus) and Megyn Michael Land Avedisian, and four

grandchildren: Gayton Land Johnson, Cile Victoria Johnson, Michael Joseph Avedisian, Drew Scotty Avedisian,

one brother, Luke Arrington (Martha), one sister, Ursula Arrington Ward, and a host of nephews, nieces, and friends.

Vicki was a 1964 graduate of Brookhaven High School. She graduated from Louisiana Tech University

with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Vicki and Michael were married in 1969. While living in Shreveport, Louisiana,

their two daughters were born. They then moved to Brookhaven where Vicki used her love of art not only

through public and private teaching, but as a free-lance artist. Vicki was a faithful member of Faith Presbyterian Church serving in many capacities.

It is the family’s wish that any expressions of love be made as a donation to Faith Presbyterian Church.

    I am very said to have found this obituary years after Mrs. Land had passed. She was my high school junior and senior year art teacher. When I was a class nuisance, she never gave up on me and continued to push me. She helped me to mature during my senior year and helped me recognize that I may actually have some talent that I could make use of. She was the best. I think of her all the time, even 31 years after I had last seen her my senior year. I will never forget her.

    My heart is broken. You are all in my thoughts & prayers. She was always so kind & by far one of my favorite teachers. I will never forget the sound her jade ring would make when she was teaching. I am so fortunate that she, and her amazing family, are part of my life.❤

    I am so saddened to hear if your great loss. I will lift you all in prayer as you begin a new phase of life without your loved one. She was always such a sweet, kind, talented lady. My middle son, Kelly, had her at BHS and he loved her so. She brought out the talent, in a very shy, young man and gave him confidence. I will forever be grateful for her attention and love of teaching that helped him so much. He still has the artwork and a love for art. Prayers for comfort, strength, peace, and we know she is enjoying in awe, all Heavens Glory .

    Mrs. Vicki was truly a gem. She will be very missed. I will never forget her sweet smile. She was a special lady. I'm so blessed for the path that lead me to Fleet Feet in Birmingham that gave me the opportunity to know and love the Land family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
