Vickie was raised in the Church of Christ and followed that faith throughout her life.
She loved to travel, had taken sixteen cruises, and had extensively visited most of the world. Her family was very important to her and she especially enjoyed having time with her grandchildren and attending their activities and events. She also liked doing things with her daughter and her sisters. She had a love for animals and was very fond of her little dog “Sammie”.
Vickie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and her accomplishments and will cherish the wonderful memories she created for her family and friends.
