Vicki was a beloved mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, friend, and a pillar of her community.

She later worked at the nuclear plant for 24 years, spending the latter part of her career as a site coordinator. She took great pride in her work and cherished the many friendships and connections she made throughout the years.

Above all, Vicki’s greatest love was her family. She treasured her children and grandbabies, who were the center of her world. She loved spending time with her family and especially enjoyed traveling to watch Ella play soccer in college, proudly cheering her on at many games. She also loved a good game night with family and friends, filled with laughter and the sounds of Tejano and country music. Some of her favorite memories included enjoying Vincent’s delicious pork chops, baking and making snow cones with her grandkids, and shopping with Eilene and Jessica after Ella’s soccer games. These simple moments brought her so much happiness and created cherished memories her family will hold close to their hearts forever.
