Vicky had a profound love for Jesus. A disciple for her precious Lord, she led so many to a relationship with God. She spent countless hours praying for her family, friends, and even strangers. She had a kind and generous spirit who was determined to see the positive in everyone. To know her was to love her. Her most precious gifts were her husband, sons, and grandchildren. Her favorite pastime was fishing with her husband and cheering on her grandkids at sporting events and functions. She led a prayer group called Faith, Family, and Friends doing the work that God had called her to do. Her work here is done, and she is now living in eternal rest with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
A visitation and funeral service will be held at Ourso Funeral Home, Pierre Part on Monday, May 3, 2021 from 8:30am until the service at 2:00pm. Burial will follow at Sacred Heart Cemetery.
