We, Vicki's aunt and uncle, were pleased and honored to be her baptismal sponsors and godparents. From the time Vicki was a little girl, she had a happy disposition and a sunny personality. As she grew up, she developed a quick wit and a fine conversational ability. She thought the world of her niece, Ora, and cousin, Ruby, and spent many good times with them when they visited at her home. She also dearly loved her pets and they, in return, loved her back. In school, she gained a deep interest in theater and that became her major subject. An excellent student, she graduated from college with highest honors. Her work in theater and at Starbucks gave her great joy. She was on her way to becoming a wonderful teacher when she was taken from us. We miss you, Vicki, but hope that you are in a better place and can spread your sunshine to others who are there.
