Her hard work and sincere dedication to her role was felt by hundreds of patients. Vicki always put her patients first and her magnetic personality made her patients feel truly valued. In return, patients had the utmost respect and trust in Vicki and adored being greeted by her over the past 15 years. In her life and career, Vicki had an unmatched strength and resilience. Even when diagnosed with lung cancer, she never gave up and fought until her very last day to overcome. Her courage, bravery, and compassion have inspired her colleagues, friends and family alike. She has touched hundreds of lives over the decades and her impact will remain forever. Many of those who know Vicki will agree that they are not the same because of her, and life will never be the same without her.
