Vicki was the best sister a guy could ask for. She had a heart of gold and was the most selfless person I have ever known. I miss you and am glad you are at peace with Mom. I love you Vicki.

Vicki was an amazing soul, she was welcoming and made you feel important and like you mattered, she was funny, caring and compassionate. We are all better for having Vicki as part of our lives.
Paul & Michelle Uhlbeck says
I am honored to be part of such a beautiful family! Vicki will and always hold a very special place in my heart! She would always comment on pictures of Paul and I. “ tell butthead I said hi” which was a joke between the cousins. I am so happy we were able to go visit a few years ago and it was evident how much her family meant to her! Love you all! I will “kick butt head in the rear for you”. I know you’re at peace now in the arms of your momma who you have missed so much! To Ron and all of her kids and grandkids we are sending a virtual hug from Michigan❤️
