Vicki was the quintessence of a caretaker and grandmother. She always thought of others before herself. She was a dedicated caregiver to her husband through his declining health.

Vicki enjoyed watching sports of all kinds, especially The Ohio State Buckeyes. She loved spending time with her family and friends.
