Victoria Elizabeth Alston Jennings
Victoria Elizabeth Alston Jennings, 66, of Red Bank, Tennessee, died peacefully at home after a short illness on September 15, 2021. She was surrounded by her loving husband, her precious cats, and close personal friends.
Vicky was born in Atlanta. She grew up on Lookout Mountain, Tn., where she attended Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church and Grammar School. From there, Vicky went to Girls’ Preparatory School before graduating from Notre Dame High School where she met her husband, Jack. Vicky became the first director of the St. Jude Catholic Preschool where she worked for 20 years. Vicky was a member of St. Jude Catholic Church.
Ms. Vicky was adored by many children. She was kind and gentle to each and every child. Vicky was a great teacher and nurturer. Her loving heart will always be remembered. After leaving St. Jude Pre-School she ended her career at Red Bank City Hall.
The things that were most loved by Vicky were her family, friends, cats, home, hanging out by her pool, taking walks across the Walnut Street Bridge, and her love of music.
Vicky was preceded in death by her parents, Robert A. Alston and Caroline Hardin Alston, and brother, Bobby Alston.
Vicky is survived by the love of her life and devoted husband of 46 years, Jack E. Jennings, Jr.; her three wonderful sons, Zachary (Amy) Jennings, Bradley (Kate) Jennings and Daniel (Jennifer) Jennings; her adored grandson, Will Jennings; her precious cats, Pippa and Sweetie Pie; her sister, Lansing (Ian) Hamilton; and several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
The Jennings family would like to thank Hospice of Chattanooga. They also wish to express much love and appreciation to Vicky’s special friends, Claudia, Kathy and Priscilla.
