Vicki had many occupations during life, but one of her favorites was working at Bob's Tavern slinging drinks and food. She enjoyed spending time shopping with her mother and daughter, reading a good mystery, watching Bones and playing with her grandchildren. Her perfect meal was a steak and baked potato with lemon meringue pie for desert. She enjoyed just that meal on her 72nd birthday.
