She worked at Kirby-Risk Electrical Supply for 50 years.

Vicki enjoyed reading, spending time with family and especially the grandchildren cheering them on at their sporting events. She was so supportive in everything her grandchildren were doing. She loved to travel with her husband to Missouri every year to watch the St. Louis Cardinals and made trips to Las Vegas as well. She and John would go to family dinners, with her friends to socialize, and a weekly trip to Gils Supper Club. One fond memory her family has is her chocolate chip cookie baking days at home. She will be missed by all family and friends who knew her.

Her visitation will be from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, October 22, 2020 at Preston-Hanley Funeral Homes & Crematory in Pekin. A funeral service will follow at 6 p.m. with Pastor Alvin Riley officiating.  Graveside service will be held at Glendale Memorial Gardens in Pekin at a later date.
