I met Vickie many years ago through my sister Willa Palmer. Vickie was always a good friend to my sister.
I remember Vickie as being fun loving and silly on the few outings that I attended with her and my sister. I know she could be serious also because she was a strong shoulder my sister had leaned on a few times. Vickie and Willa were there through having babies, husbands and death.
Vickie will truly be missed by everyone who knew her.

I always enjoyed Vickie's company and conversations. It has been awhile since I've had contact with her, I think the last time I ran into her at Prairie Meadows several years ago. She always had a smile on her face at work and loved to life. I'm sure you will miss her. I am so sorry for your loss.
