Vicki had a great love for animals and could watch Animal Planet all night. Her favorite show was Dogtown and wanted to go volunteer for a week but could not because of her extended illness. Vicki always made her family laugh and was always ready to eat. Then she was ready for one of her favorite pass-times, talking for hours on the phone keeping up with her friends and family in six states. Even though she had been in ill health for seven years, she always found something to laugh about. She was a member of Central Church of Christ. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Funeral services will be at Central Church of Christ in Streator, Illinois on Saturday at 4PM with visitation from 3 - 4PM. Graveside service and burial will be in the Bedford Cemetery in Bedford, Kentucky on Wednesday at 3PM. Winterrowd Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Memorial gifts may be made to Dogtown at Best Friends Animal Society, 5001 Angel Canyon Road, Kanab, Utah 84741-5000.
