She brought laughter and fun to all occasions. Those close to her knew her as “Big Red!” She enjoyed her membership at the PAK, reading and dancing. She was said to be the first on the dance floor and the last one off. She was also a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pitt Panthers. Vicki cherished annual trips to Myrtle Beach with her husband, Alan. Additionally, she loved all things Christmas.
