She was employed at Dyersville Die Cast/Scale Models for 34 years, where she enjoyed the people and made many friends. Vickie had a love for the game of pool for many years, where she has been a member of the Delaware County Women’s Pool League and developed a love for the game of cornhole over the last several years where she was a member of Driftless Cornhole League. She took particular pride in winning the annual Sauser July 3^rd cornhole tournament every year.

She loved to spend summers camping at Baileys Ford and enjoyed the Saturday cookouts. She loved having the whole family together at these events and watching the grandchildren play and grow. In July, she always looked forward to vacationing in the mountains of Wyoming and Montana; she had a particular love for Yellowstone National Park. In her spare time, she enjoyed watching her Ghost Hunters and murder mystery shows on tv as well as spooky scary movie nights with her daughters. She had a love of collecting elephants.
