WBC Mourns Loss of Britny Vickers

The Williams Baptist College family is grieving the loss of one of its own, after the tragic death of Britny Vickers. Britny was killed in a car accident Monday night in Walnut Ridge.

Britny, 20, was a sophomore psychology major from Homosassa, Florida, and a midfielder for the WBC Lady Eagles soccer team.

A campus memorial service is planned for Wednesday at 12 noon in WBC’s Manley Chapel. Other funeral arrangements are pending.

Hundreds of Britny’s classmates, as well as Williams faculty and staff, filled Manley Chapel to grieve and pray together Monday night after getting news of the tragedy.

“Williams Baptist College is a tight knit campus family, and we feel this loss profoundly,” said Dr. Tom Jones, WBC’s president. “Britny enriched our campus with a wonderful personality and ever-present smile. We mourn with her family, her classmates and her teammates, and we offer our fervent prayers on their behalf.”

The WBC family extends its deepest condolences to Britny’s family in this loss of a very special young lady.
