Vicki was also proud of the time she spent over the years working in Fremont as part-owner of Amy's Restuarant, as well as working at Hartsema's Newsstand and Engrave-All Trophy.Above all else, Vicki's life was centered around her family. She was so proud of always being there for her boys no matter what at any time of the day or night. You could always count on Vicki on being the loudest cheerleader at any event involving her family, often hearing her cheers above all else.
