After moving to Fordland, MO, she worked at Zenith for 14 years.  She then attended OTC and graduated as an Accredited Hospital Coder.   She was employed by Mercy and Cox Hospitals and then worked for K-Force which allowed her to travel.   While at K-Force, she was hired by the Saudi Arabia government for 3 years at their National Guard hospital.  While there, she traveled extensively which includes 3 trips to Ireland, England, 3 weeks to Africa and scuba diving in the Maldives.   Upon returning home, she accepted 2 separate assignments to Alaska.  Both being in Barrows, Alaska which was unreachable except by plane.  She accepted many assignments in the United States up until her retirement in 2019.

Vickie sponsored a young boy through Compassion International in Africa where she made her second trip to Africa to meet him and his family.  She made several mission trips with Second Baptist Church, Springfield, MO where she has been a member since October 1999.

Vickie loved her red Jeep, bicycle, and her Spyder bike. She rode many miles through Missouri and Arkansas with other riders or she never hesitated to ride alone.

Because of her faith in Jesus Christ, Vickie was a strong, courageous and compassionate woman who lived it daily until her death.
