Vickie was one of my best friends in high school. We had almost every class together every year since it was such a small school. She was funny, intelligent and a great friend. I looked for you at the last reunion, but you weren't there. May you rest in peace, George!

I was saddened to read about the passing of Vickie. I remember Vickie from working with her at the Victims of Crime agency, and also attending high school with her. She was funny and very bright! Rest in Peace, Victoria (Vickie).

I worked with Vic at Victims of Crime many years ago, & we remained friends & talked periodically on the phone. She created a wonderful photo album for me a few years ago, when I was married. I treasure those pictures & my memories of the time that we spent together over the years .I'll miss her laugh & just knowing that she was out there when I wanted to talk . .

Vickie was a devoted loving and generous aunt to my niece, Amelia and nephews, Isaac and Micah, and a thoughtful life-long family friend. I'll always treasure the memory of Vicki attending the births of Isaac and Micah, and how she lovingly watched over Amelia. Rest in peace, dear Vicki.
