“Ruby”, as she was called by her family and friends, enjoyed cooking and baking, sewing and shopping. She liked making costumes and enjoyed dressing up in her sewing creations for Halloween. Her family was very dear to her and she especially enjoyed having time with her grandsons. She greatly loved being a “Mimi”.
Vickie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and her accomplishments and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her lifetime.
