She had sung in the Church Choir, and for years, sold Mary Kay Cosmetics in her spare time. Vickie loved to shop and will be remembered as a true fashionista. She was always able to put together a stylish outfit with jewelry, shoes and flattering hairstyle to match.

Vickie, you will most certainly be missed by many ~
