Victoria's obituary
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Victoria Richey, a beacon of strength and beauty in our lives. Born on December 2, 1993, Victoria gracefully departed from this world on August 22, 2023. Her radiant spirit and timeless wisdom continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know her.
Victoria leaves behind a constellation of loving family members, each touched by her kindness, intelligence, and unyielding love. She is survived by her devoted spouse, James Bessette, their beloved children, Nova Richey, Niko Bessette and Ava Bessette, her fathers, Rick Mireles and Paul Hines, her stepmothers, Jack Denis and Meredith Calabrese, her mother, Angela Richey, and her siblings, Chelsea Subda, Ambria Carmichael, Gianna Hines-Calabrese and Josh Richey.
Victoria's sparkling personality was a symphony of intelligence, radiant beauty, nurturing warmth, free spirit, passion, and genuineness. She gifted the world with her presence as a well-known model and a top-tier businesswoman, but she will forever be remembered more for her compassionate soul than any professional accomplishment. She taught us powerful lessons of non-judgement and unconditional love, lessons we will strive to integrate into our lives to honor her memory.
Yet, it was perhaps her role as a mother that brought her the most joy and satisfaction. To her son and daughters, she was a hero, a source of unyielding strength and resilience in the face of life's adversities. Her legacy is the love she gave, the strength she showed, and the belief she had in the beauty of life, even in the hardest times.
Victoria was deeply loved and will be forever remembered. Her loss is immeasurable, but so too is the love and inspiration she left behind. Her spirit will forever emanate in the hearts of all she has touched.
