We’re sad to report that Vickie Funk has passed on. The longtime wife of wrestler Terry Funk, her death was first made public in a tweet by Ted DiBiase. She passed away yesterday evening, presumably of natural causes.
My heart is broken and goes out to my good friend and mentor, Terry Funk. Terry’s wife, Vickie, passed away yesterday evening. Terry and Vickie were like second parents to me. There aren’t words to express how much they both have meant to me. RIP Vickie https://t.co/zVjsft0iOG

Vickie played a major role in Beyond The Mat, a legendary documentary filmed during the height of the Attitude Era. Vickie and Terry were married twice, and she was known by everyone she met as a positive presence in the industry.
The entire WrestleZone staff joins in with the rest of wrestling fandom in sending our deepest condolences to Terry Funk and the rest of the Funk family.
