Our Staff

Vicki Hawkins

Vicki was born and raised in Fouke, Arkansas where she developed a love and respect for animals. She graduated from University of Medical Science in Little Rock, AR in the 90’s and worked in the medical field ever since. Vicki’s dog, Mouse, was diagnosed with liver failure in 2014. After years of research, she discovered the lack of dignified pet afterlife care in her area. In 2018, she became a Certified Pet Funeral Director and Crematory Operator, then opened Pet Passages located in Fouke, Arkansas. She wants to provide her community with the most dignified pet cremation services possible.

Jade Hawkins

Jade is one of our Crematory Operators. Animals have consistently been apart of Jade’s life, and is truly where her compassion is rooted. From hooves to paws her experiences began at an early age, shaping her into the avid animal lover she is today. After working at a veterinary clinic in Austin, Texas her awareness of respectful afterlife care began and has only continued to flourish.

Jacci Gilleylen

As a Certified Pet Funeral Director and Crematory Operator, Jacci has spent years guiding pet parents through their grief, ensuring each pet is honored with the same care and respect as any other family member.

For Jacci, helping families through the loss of a beloved pet is far more than a career, its a calling. With a background in both funeral services and veterinary care, she brings a unique understanding of compassion, professionalism, and love for all animals.

“Every pet’s story deserves to be honored and remembered-what a privilege it is to do just that.”

Keyton Crow

A familiar face in our community, Keyton is the kind of person who shows up when others need him most — whether it’s as a volunteer firefighter, a father of three, or a compassionate presence here at Pet Passages.

Having called Fouke home for over 20 years, Keyton is known as a true hometown hero with a heart as big as his dedication. As our Lead Crematory Operator, he ensures that every beloved pet is treated with the dignity, care, and respect they deserve.

Keyton has a deep understanding of the bond between families and their pets — and it shows in every single thing he does.
