Vicki was a true leader by walking in the Christian faith and doing God's and Jesus's work. She was one of the few people who I really admired in how she led her earthly life and contributed so much goodness to the lives of others. Her passing in not so much as our loss but heavens gain.

Vicki was a special friend and special teacher who I worked with at Bradford Elementary. When Day Elementary was closed and I came to first grade at Bradford, Vicki welcomed me and made me feel at home. I feel sure she would say that I helped her with many little things in our years together but she helped me more with her grace and dignity and friendship. I will miss her. She loved teaching school. I love the picture above because many students and teachers will remember that red polka dotted dress and pearls she loved to wear. She was a wonderful teacher to so many students through the years who will remember her as a person who cared for students and the learning and goals she tried to instill in all of them. These last few years she was a fighter for the disease of cancer. She did her best with a positive outlook. I know she loved her family and was very proud of them. We teachers heard many stories about you when she returned from her summer and Christmas adventures up north in Minnesota. She loved your visits too and the times you stayed in the summer. My heart goes out to you at this time with many prayers to help you through this time. I know she is enjoying being with Gary again who she missed so much. I am going to add a photo I had of Vicki and Rebecca Nash taken in 2005 at a Halloween Carnival at Bradford.

I am so sad to hear of Vicki's passing. I remember the days of teaching with her at Bradford. She was a good friend to me and my husband and I enjoyed time spent with Vicki and Gary. I hope that God comforts her family and I rest well with the knowledge that she is with her Lord.

Creating good relationships with teachers has always been a priority of my family. Vicki was the first relationship we had. Vicki was both of my children's 1st grade teacher at Bradford Elementary. Both are in college now with one graduating Saturday(12/15). He will be honoring you walking down that aisle to accept his college diploma because you were the one that got him started in school. We continued to keep in contact with Vicki over the years and she was an amazing lady as well as a teacher. I truly believe she was a "first -class" teacher at the top of her profession that made such an impact on the students of Bradford Elementary while she was there. She had a remarkable love for the kids and parents and always was honest and encouraging. We consider ourselves very honored to have known her and especially grateful to her for inspiring our children to work hard, make good grades and believing in their goals. Thank you Vicki! Our utmost condolences to the family. She was certainly a remarkable woman and a top notch teacher. We will always be grateful and hold her in our fondest memories of touching our lives.

Such a wonderful lady. I enjoyed her so much this past year in Vacation Bible School at church. Sure will miss her sitting in the middle section, but rejoice that she is in heaven with Jesus.
