She enjoyed tending to her flowers in her front yard, going to yard sales, flea markets and thrift stores. She often gave most of her purchases away to friends and family; she always seemed to know who needed the treasures she had found. Vickie loved all animals but had a special place in her heart for her beloved Doberman’s. Vickie also had a fondness for Camaros, so much so that she would not drive any other car. Vickie was also a tremendous KISS fan. Her home was full of KISS memorabilia. A memorial service will be held Friday, August 14, 2020 at 10:00 AM at Fox Funeral Home, 128 S. Main St., Licking, MO.
