A loving and caring woman who began her post California life by following the family tradition of enlisting in the Air Force. She ended her enlistment and continued her professional career by holding civilian administrative positions of the highest degree, including office manager, secretary and protocol officer to multiple Air Force General officers. Vicki was an extremely talented professional and received multiple prestigious awards throughout her military and civilian careers. This life molded by the military allowed for a unique experience in her far too short time here. She took great pride in being the strong matriarch of a family that was primarily cultivated overseas in multiple European countries. This highlighted her joy of traveling and exploring new places and other cultures. Much of her time was devoted to the selfless act of providing for others. Her passions included cooking - trying new recipes and perfecting her go-to-meals, music - always on top of the current hits and frequent concert going and cheering on her sports teams - from professional to grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her, as she leaves a hole in many lives. Her memory will serve as a reminder of the substantial impact one can have on others despite the brevity of human life. The family will receive friends at Wake Memorial Park on Saturday, January 18, 2025, from 10:00 am - 11:00 am. Funeral services will follow with Rev. Kathie McCutcheon officiating. Interment will be in Wake Memorial Park with Military Honors.
