I am deeply saddened by Vicki’s unexpected passing. We had a special long-lasting friendship which began at SCJ and continued thereafter. Vicki & I agreed that everyone has a friend during each stage of life, but only lucky ones have the same friend in all stages of life. I will forever miss you. Peace to all who loved you.

Chris and family. So sorry to hear about Vicki. I was remembering the time Vicki, Laura, Kristy and I went to Disney World for Badgerette and the girls danced there. We had a great time together with a lot of laughs. Your Mom and Vicki are together and both wrapped in Gods arms. Love you guys…Tammie

Vicki was one of the sweetest, happiest person that we have ever met. Always smiling and spreading positive thoughts. We remember fondly our soccer trips to Colorado and all of the fun that we had there.
We pray for strength for the family with this deep loss.

Darryl, Chris, Barbie and Bill — we are so very sorry to hear about Vicki. We remember so well when she was born and now, 57 years later, she has joined her Mom in heaven. May she rest in peace.
Susan Carreno says
Dearest Vicki, I’ve known you since we went to St. Lucy’s School together. You were gregarious, fun-loving and so cheerful. We both went on to different high schools but I never forgot the person you were. The cheerleader (literally)who always got everyone going. You were then fortunate to have children that worshipped the ground you walked on and in this day and age, you no longer see that. It is a huge compliment to the kind of person you were. We all know that are bodies are a vehicle for us on earth but we know your spirit will live on and on. So next time I need to be cheered up I will talk to you. Very soon I’m sure! Many blessings to your children and family. May their grief be lessened by their wonderful memories of you. God bless you all, Susan Carreno
