Moore County Native – Victoria Riddle

Posted on by

It’s rare to find an individual who is Moore County born and raised.  The Riddle family is a well known and respected family from Carthage. Victoria attended Moore County public schools and today is living at the family Century Farm in Carthage with her 7 year old daughter, Addison.

From the legacy her grandfather and father created as the John Deere Dealership 51 years ago, Victoria has taken over the reins of the family businesses and in between all her responsibilities has carved out a separate career as a successful real estate broker.

Her story of her family and her evolution into the family business as President of Riddle Equipment and the Riddle Group is inspirational and thought provoking.

Victoria lost her grandfather and father within a 4 year period 2011 & 2015: 2011 was the year the family John Deere dealership merged with Quality Equipment with over 28 John Deere Dealers.

Leona Riddle, Victoria’s mother, has a 30+ year tenure as a nurse at what is now known as First Health Hospital.

Sammy Riddle was always proud of his daughter, and her recollections and remembrances serve as a fitting homage to a man who has helped shaped Victoria’s outlook, disposition and place in a Moore County that is ever changing and growing.
