Vicki was retired from Holland Company, where she worked as a service representative. She lived to have a good time and dance like no one was watching, entertain friends and family, and added "sparkle" to any room either through her laugh, smile, sense of humor, decor, or how she was dressed. Vicki is survived by her daughter Deanna (Mark) Creer, son Jay (Kathleen) Savaiano, sister Susan (Frank) Davis, and grandchildren Troy and Drew Savaiano. She is preceded in death by her parents Edward and Hazel Hahn, and nephew Shawn Davis.
