As a mother, Vicki was supportive, loving, and selfless, known for her great cooking, and the best hugs. She was a proud grandmother, and humble hostess of many family get-togethers. She was generous with her time and talents; volunteering her artistic skills at her children’s schools, helping fundraise for their extra curricular activities, and supporting her sister-in-law (Linda) with care packages for Women in Need.
Vicki joined the Centreline Manufacturing team as office manager. She played a vital role in its success for the last sixteen years.
