MIZELL, VICTORIA ROSE - age 13, of Vero Beach, Florida, left this world at 7:03 AM November 14, 2003 following a three year battle with a brain tumor. She was the beloved daughter of Michelle McDaniel of Vero Beach, Florida and Thomas Mizell of Knoxville, Tennessee. Born December 12, 1989 in Maryville, Tennessee, Victoria attended schools in Blount and Knox Counties before moving to Florida in 1998. She attended Osceola Magnet School and this fall was in the eighth grade at Oslo Middle School in Vero Beach. She was an exceptional student who always gave her very best. Throughout her illness, she never lost her ability to laugh and smile nor her love for animals (especially horses), music, art, cartoons, silly jokes, and people of all ages. Truly, Victoria never met a stranger, and fittingly, she was no stranger to thousands of people who prayed for her after her diagnosis. The family wishes to thank her many "friends" who provided spiritual and financial support during this difficult time. They also want to thank the numerous doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel in Orlando, Boston, and Durham, North Carolina as well as the staff of Hospice House in Vero Beach Angel Flight Make A Wish Foundation Ronald McDonald Houses of Boston, Massachusetts and Durham, North Carolina and the National Children's Cancer Society who so generously helped as she waged this battle.
