As a young girl, Vicki was an active and accomplished bowler in the Jr. Bowling association. She always had a love for music that was on the cutting edge. Vicki learned to sew and developed an amazing talent to create. This talent led her into quilt making which she did to the end of her life. Vicki was a proud member of the red hat society. She dazzled family and friends with her creativity and talent for scrap booking and candle making. A vivid history of her life with family and friends exists through the beautiful records she compiled with love and pride.
