Victoria Gronbeck Obituary

Died peacefully on September 11, 2019. She was preceded in death by her former husband Cliff Johnsrud in July 2019. Vicki was born in Van Nuys, California on June 26, 1951 and lived much of her childhood in the San Luis Obispo area. She worked for the State of California for 30 years in the Department of Corrections and the Employment Development Department rising to high level of management at EDD. A necessary but ultimately catastrophic surgery in 2001 left her with multiple disabilities that caused her much pain and prevented her from pursuing her many interests and abilities. Nonetheless, her kind heart and generous soul were unhampered. She will be sorely missed by those of us who knew her. --Godspeed, dear friend.

My dearest Vicki, I want to thank you for being my good friend and a part of my family! We shared our good times and our woes like sisters and had wonderful adventures together for many yearseach learning from the other about the sides of life we didnt have in common and supporting those differences. Im so grateful that we remained in each others lives all of these years and know that you are in a better place than the prison of your body which held you captive for so long. God speed and welcome home my friend! Love Suzie

I was so sorry to hear about Vicky's passing and to know that she was in pain. My husband and I were friends with Vicky and Cliff back in the 80s. I remember her
intelligence and her friendly nature. May she now soar in the astral world.
