She held their marriage very near and dear to her heart, and always talked about hanging in there until they could celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. She was a devoted wife and mother, she was the glue that held her family together. Vickie loved people, and showering others with friendship and care. She loved interacting with patrons at MoPac Credit Union for 20 years, knowing most account holders by name. The same rang true for when she was employed at Cash Advance and then later at PDQ PayDay Loans where she worked with her dearest lifetime friend Elaine VanWinkle. She had the opportunity to be a member of several area churches at different times in her life, and loved the congregation at each one. She was often referred to as Ms Vickie, or Sister Vickie. She had the gift of praise, and song. She loved to sing, and was requested to sing for the church on many occasions. She volunteered to help with children's ministry many times as she loved children and interacting with them, being active in the church brought her so much joy and purpose.
