Life is a matter of things and moments, those we choose to cherish and others we would wish to forget. Beloved, Vicki, have a great time on the other side, you won’t be forgotten here on earth. Love is always around us, as I am sure you will be.
VK was a treasured friend and I will miss her beautiful voice and sense of humor. I hope you can connect with my Jim and the two of you can join voices to serenade the heavens. RIP my friend, you fought a good fight.
Vicki was such a wonderful person & heaven has definitely gained a new angel. Everyone that knew her, loved her. She had a huge heart & sweet personality. She will be missed greatly. Vicki, please give my Dad a HUGE HUG in heaven & one day we will all reunite again!!!
It is difficult to say goodbye to someone you have known almost all your adult life. Thanks for the fun we had, the lessons we learned and most of all your friendship. I know you are in a better place, but you will be greatly missed. Love, Laurie Guthrie
Vicki was one of my best friends in high school. Although we lost touch years ago, I thought of her often, remembering what a great person she was, and the fun we had so many years ago. RIP my friend!
In memory of my very dear friend, and my mentor who left this world too soon. I will always remember the wonderful times we had together and the beautiful person she was even though she beat me in cribbage, but she made it up with her most wonderful mashed potatoes. The lift of her eyebrow and twinkle in her eye will be missed but always remembered. Vik RIP!
For far too many years VK was a part of my life. I will always treasure the laughs, the lessons, the parties after projects, and those she introduced to me. May you find those that departed us too soon as well and wait for us to join you. May the rest of us remember the good times and keep your family in our thoughts and prayers as they move through this. Rest in peace Vicki….
The world will truly miss one of the best! God will certainly be gaining an angel, Vic say hello to all are loved ones and enjoy paradise.
Working with Vicki over the years was always a rewarding experience. And the parties at her house were not to be missed. RIP.
I had the privilege of working for Vicki at SCI. Keeping your Family and Friends in my prayers.
I worked with Vicki for many years ar SCI. She was a great person to work with and work for. We had many fun times outside work as well. Although I lost touch when you left Houston. I still thought about and asked about you. RIP Vicki until we meet again in Heaven. Peace, Ruthie
I worked with Vicki for several years at SCI. She was truly a great person, very caring and always had a smile on her face and was there to help all others with any questions that might arise during our daily work day. She will surely be missed and God just received another heavenly angel. Sending prayers to all her family and friends.
It was an honor and privilege to work with VK while at SCI. The twinkle in her eye, the beautiful smile, her lovely hair (I hated that I always had to pay to curl mine when hers was just naturally curly/wavy) and her love of the game (softball) will always be my memories of Vik. RIP my friend.
It was a honor to work with Vicki while at SCI. She always had a smile on her face. Every time I was in her office she was always ready to help me. RIP
I didn’t know Vicky until the dementia was all ready obvious. However, her beautiful smile, personality and determination were still evident. She was patient with those helping her, especially Holly, and the sparkle in her eye someone else mentioned was was always there. I wish I had know her before her illness took over her life, but still very happy the Lord gave me a chance to see and understand the kind and gentle person she was. Holly, as always, you are in my prayers.
I’m sorry to hear of Vicky’s passing. We were friends many years ago when she lived in Wycombe, I lived in Pineville. She was friends with my cousin Lori Dager Potter and Bobbie Joe Alston Pyle. We all hung out together. With her sister Kathy..please extend my condolences to her brothers and sister..
Just learning of her passing and flooded with wonderful memories. knowing her in high school, I and often wondered where she might be lighting up the world at. My sincere condolences to her family and friends. I hope you all can feel her presence as time goes by and relish the time you had with her while she lit up your lives.
I met Vicki 23 years ago at SCI. I still remember our first meeting where she taught me all about our ES900 system! 🙂 She was consistently supportive and responsive with the right amount of modest calm pride. I will never forget how you helped me and lead by example. RIP Vicki! Fondly, Gina
