Vickie was a devoted daughter, mother and grandmother. When her mother was diagnosed with a degenerative nerve disease, Vickie put her own life on hold and moved in to care for her. As a single mother for many years, Vickie worked multiple jobs to support herself and her son. For the last 11 years of her life, she lived as the most loving grandma that anyone could ask for. Through the unrelenting challenges of life, Vickie acted as a true servant to her family. She offered an unconditional love that few were fortunate enough to receive. Those who did will never forget her.
