Vicki and I were room mates at Fisk.  We had a friendship that lasted for more than five decades.  Our love and closeness will always remain one of my greatest memories.  She had such a sense of humor, and we always talked for hours when we "got together".  I enjoyed her dramatic flare and she always said I was much too serious.  My deepest condolences to Peter and Petra.  Losing a wife and parent is never easy but the love and closeness that you shared will always be memories in your hearts.   

Vicki and I were roommates at Fisk University.  I have so many wonderful memories of our time together.  Vicki was beautiful inside and out. What a kind, compassionate soul. The world is such a better place because Vicki  lived on this earth. She was impactful and such a blessing to so many.  The seeds that she has sown will grow for many years to come. She will be greatly missed.

Vicki was a member of Just Us, a social club, comprised of a group of women friends, bound together in friendship, respect, love and kindred fellowship.  Members spent much time together enjoying many social activities and events with each other and our children. The Pandemic year brought stress back into our lives and reduced social activities, however, through social contacts, aided by the use of social media, Just Us strengthened our sisterhood relationship. On the social media platform, Vicki was witty, perceptive, and shared many positive resources with us. She was full of life. We are so sad that she has left us. She will be deeply missed but will remain forever in our hearts.  We give love and support to Peter, Petra, Amaya and her family. 
With deepest sympathy,

A Tribute to Vicki, my friend.  Rest in Peace Vicki.

      Vicki and I met in the 80s while colleagues in the College of Education, at Florida International University (FIU). We remained friends until her passing. We did many things together both professionally and personally. Professionally, we were part of a dynamic faculty at FIU that worked to build a foundation to make a young University develop into the renowned University it is today.
     My tribute is to our personal life. We enjoyed our life, our children and family. Driving our children to and from lessons (ballet, piano, horseback riding, ice skating), to name a few. The lesson we chatted and laughed about most of the time was ice skating. These lessons were scheduled at 8am on Saturday mornings. In route many times, Vicki would say “at this time in the morning I didn’t think I would have to swear so much, - these drivers are going to cause me to lose my religion.”  Once we made it to the skating rink and were sitting and waiting for the children, at the same time freeing our buns off, Vicki would say, “Gosh, I wish I could bring my electric heater and plug it in. I also remember many birthday parties for the children. At one of the parties, the clown was to be there and decorate the children’s faces before the games started. After gathering the children around so we could get started, the clown apologized and said he had left some of his face paint at his previous engagement.  Vicki leaned over to me and whispered “when I go to write his check, I’m going to forget some of my numbers." Middle school and high school were also filled with many laughs. Good news, we survived both. College days were also enjoyable and less stressful. Now we could relax some and enjoy what is called “the fruit of our labor.” Vicki was witty, insightful and full of helpful advice. She enjoyed life. This is my tribute to her and I want to give my love and support to Peter, Petra, Amaya and family.

Peter, Petra and the members of the Scrivens/Roulhac families:

I loved the energy, passion, and sisterhood that Vicki brought to my life during our days at Fisk University. We were students in the Speech and Drama department. In this way, we experienced the great fun of reading and rehearsing for the productions in our Little Theater. 
I am thankful to God that I reconnected with Vicki during the last two years. We exchanged pleasantries and caught up with how our lives evolved since our undergraduate years. I appreciated how much Vicki expressed such sisterhood and kindness to me after a more than fifty year hiatus. Rest from your labor beloved Vickie. I look forward to seeing you in eternal life.
Forever friend,
CarolAnn North
