Victoria Pearl Rollisson

“Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone.”

Obituary

Victoria Pearl Rollisson, age 24, passed away on February 23, 2026, in Quincy, California. She was born on October 15, 2001, At Washington Hospital in Fremont, CA and spent much of her life in Fremont, Oakland, and Antioch, California. She loved having a birthday in October, the same month as her favorite Holiday-Halloween. Victoria’s life, though far too short, was filled with creativity, compassion, and a vibrant spirit that left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.
       Victoria was named after Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, a detail that always felt fitting. Like her namesake, Victoria had an unmistakable sense of style, confidence, and presence. She appreciated fashion and aesthetics, presenting herself with care and creativity. She often added her own whimsical touch with cat ears and playful accessories that made her uniquely herself. 
       Victoria was a dreamer who imagined a kinder, more beautiful world. She expressed herself creatively, often wearing cat ears or animal tails, embracing imagination in a way that brought smiles to others. She had a remarkable talent for makeup artistry and visual art, leaving behind beautiful paintings that her family will treasure forever. Whether she was creating a new look, sketching, or experimenting with color and design, Victoria’s artistic spirit shined brightly.
       Despite her artistic nature, Victoria dreamed of working as an EMT or nurse when she "grew up" because she deeply wanted to help others in times of need. She loved animals deeply, especially her beloved rescue cat, a black cat she named “Bowtie.” She instinctively stood up when she saw others being mistreated, whether people or animals. Her heart was gentle, compassionate, and guided by a sincere desire to protect others from harm.
       Victoria cherished life’s simple joys. She loved shrimp pasta from The Cheesecake Factory and always celebrated her birthday with a vanilla bean cake from Black China Bakery. She enjoyed rock music and played both guitar and piano, and she could sing beautifully. At one point, her music instructor believed her talent was strong enough to submit a demo to a record label, though her grandmother politely declined. She loved swimming, whether visiting La Quinta Resort or Grover Hot Springs, and she treasured time spent creating art and connecting with family and friends. As a child, she once excitedly declared, “I’m never going to die,” a memory that now echoes as a reflection of how fully she embraced life.
       As a child, Victoria had a charming quirk, she disliked dolls because she felt they were unsettling, especially if their eyes faced her at night. Instead, she surrounded herself with stuffed animals and playful characters. She loved stories like It’s Not Easy Being a Bunny, and she requested her aunt read it over and over to her when she was young. She dreamed of visiting New York City one day, a dream she unfortunately never had the opportunity to fulfill.
       Victoria grew up surrounded by a loving family. She is survived by her grandparents, Julie Linford and former Alameda County Water District Board member Tim Rollisson; her parents, Joy Rollisson and Robert Estrada; her brothers, Christian and Julian; and her cousins Tati, Vivi, Fabian, Mikey, and Hollie Rollisson. Her relationship with her cousin Tati reflected the same close bond their mothers shared growing up. As the first grandchild, Victoria was admired and idolized by her brothers and cousins for her unique sense of style and “coolness.” She shared a particularly deep bond with her grandmother, Julie Linford, who raised her for much of her childhood ( and taught her to avoid sugar which she eventually embraced).
       Victoria was preceded in death by her beloved great-grandmother, whose passing nine months earlier deeply affected her. She honored her memory by wearing her green coat to the funeral. After the service, Victoria felt embarrassed by how emotional she had become. In a touching moment, her youngest cousin, five-year-old Hollie Rollisson, gently comforted her by saying, “Everybody’s perfect.” Moved by the innocence and compassion behind those simple words, Victoria responded tenderly, “Oh, I love you.” This moment reflected Victoria’s deep appreciation for kindness, forgiveness, and the purity of love shared within family.
       Victoria was strongly guided by values centered on protecting others and doing what is right. Her psychiatric nurse practitioner aunt, who worked in detox facilities caring for individuals affected by substance use disorders, taught her the importance of maintaining full cognition while driving and avoiding substances that could impair judgment. Victoria took this lesson deeply to heart. When once asked if she planned to take driver’s training, she responded passionately, “No, I don’t want to kill anyone.” Her decision not to drive came from empathy and a sincere desire to ensure the safety of others.
       Tragically, it was while crossing the street as a pedestrian that Victoria lost her life in an accident caused by a drunk driver. The loss is especially painful to those who knew her, as she was someone who cared deeply about preventing harm and believed strongly in making safe and responsible choices. Even in the face of tragedy, those who knew Victoria believe she would want compassion, forgiveness, and kindness to guide the path forward.
       Victoria is remembered as vibrant, stylish, and full of life. With her polished makeup, creative expression, and engaging personality, she brought warmth and positive energy wherever she went. Though she was a true introvert who valued time to recharge, she connected deeply with those she loved. She was exceptionally fair-minded and compassionate, someone who believed strongly in kindness and forgiveness and rarely held grudges. 
       Victoria would want the driver who struck her to be met with forgiveness rather than incarceration, and Victoria’s aunt—a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and former Chico State student—would hope she finds Christ above all, seeks true transformation through inpatient chemical dependency treatment with intensive psychotherapy, and dedicates her life to sharing her story with Chico State students, in the hope of preventing another tragedy as life beyond Chico continues. ✝️💛 Her family holds close the belief that Victoria would want people to remember kindness above all else. As scripture reminds us, “Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone.” Victoria’s spirit was one of empathy, understanding, and love. Victoria was truly one of a kind, creative, sensitive, stylish, and full of light. Her memory will live on through the art she created, the joy she shared, and the love she gave so freely.
       A memorial service will be held on March 25th, 2026 at 3:00 PM at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Hayward, California. Victoria will be cremated. In honor of Victoria’s life and to help prevent tragedies like the one that took her, the family invites those who wish to make a contribution to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Though her time here was brief, Victoria Pearl Rollisson leaves behind a legacy of creativity, compassion, style, and a spirit that will never be forgotten. We envision her flying with angels now.
