ROCKPORT — After a hard-fought battle with cancer, Victoria Watts made her final requests for her family to be with her. She spent her last hours with her loved ones by her side and did things her way. On March 9, 2026, she said her final I love yous.

Victoria Watts was born in 1963 to Eugene and Lista Colson the oldest of 5 children, attending school in Thomaston and graduating from Georges Valley.

In 1981 she married the love of her life, Timothy Watts, and together they raised 5 children. For many years she worked for the Thomaston school district helping wherever she was needed, then finished her career with Hannaford in Rockland.

She enjoyed spending time with her family and camping trips up north. Digging for antiques and treasures around the area and planting her beautiful flowers and vegetables gardens every year. She loved having a house full and was content when their bellies were full, always baking favorite treats for birthdays. She also made sure to pass on her love of music, animals and New England sports teams to her children. In her earlier years she could be found making wreaths with her mom and sister.
