Vicky loved her family and showed us every Thanksgiving and Christmas. She cooked a wonderful meal for all to enjoy. Her Birthday was on Christmas Day and yet she still cooked for her family and friends and we ate good!!! Her homemade rolls, turkey, ham, greens, cabbage, pig feet, and soooo much more. We are going to miss her cooking and the love she displayed to her family. One example of her dedication and love to her family is that she cared for her mother for many years at her home until her mother deceased. She loved the Lord and would study her bible everyday. Her best friend Ms. Delores Henderson was a faithful and long time dedicated friend to Vicky, While Vicky was in the hospital she would still say “ make sure you tell Delores that I am in the hospital”.
