Vickie Ann Thornhill, a 59-year-old woman of Caucasian ethnicity, tragically passed away on February 24, 2018, in Perry, Ohio. She was born on May 2, 1958, in West Virginia to Virginia and Ralph Moore. Vickie graduated high school and later earned an associate's degree from Lakeland Community College. She worked as an assembler at Orbis Corporation since 2013 and enjoyed traveling and shopping with her daughter, Arianna Dawn Cope.
Vickie's death was part of a tragic incident that also claimed the life of her 19-year-old daughter, Arianna. The incident was determined to be a murder-suicide committed by Vickie's brother, Ralph Moore Jr., who was 62 years old at the time. According to authorities, Ralph fatally shot Vickie and Arianna before taking his own life. The bodies were discovered by a sheriff's deputy around 8:30 a.m. on the day of the incident.
Ralph Moore Jr. was reportedly distraught over the prospect of his sister and niece moving out of his home, which led him to commit the tragic act. He called another sister to confess to the crime before ending his own life. The incident remains under investigation by the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
This heartbreaking event left a lasting impact on the community and the families involved. Vickie and Arianna are remembered fondly by their loved ones, who continue to mourn their loss.
