Vickie blazed the trail for many of us here at U. S. Probation. She was a gifted, strong, brave woman who taught much to many, and left a legacy of knowledge. May she rest in peace, and may God hold her family close as they grieve her loss.

Vicki, I will always remember you because of the birthday cards that you sent me every year. Those birthday cards always made me smile. Thank you for the memories.

Vickie, you were the first person I saw when I walked into my probation interview; you winked at me and I immediately thought "okay, I want to be like that beautiful, strong woman" you loved me, laughed with me, and cared for me and so many others here at probation in your unique, always humble way. I'll always cherish the memory of that afternoon at your house; windows open, a perfect breeze, coffee & your amazing, long lasting hug when I left. You were one of a kind and I was so proud and blessed to call you my friend. Wishing Beckie and your extended family comfort and peace and Gods infinite grace; we loved her so much !
