Vickie worked for State Farm
Insurance Companies in the Life Department where she
had retired. She had an incredible gift of helping
others. She spent her entire life devoted to that
cause. As a lifelong active member of the American
Legion Auxiliary, her service and kindness extended
to not only veterans but to various children’s homes
in the state of Illinois. Not one to sit quietly in
her retirement, Vickie could be found loading and
driving one of the Emergency Response Vehicles as a
volunteer for the Red Cross during times of great
need and to the local VA Hospital caring and
supporting our Veterans. She was an active member
and volunteer with Heartland Church.
Vickie was loved by her family and friends and has
touched so many lives over the years with her
selfless service to others. She will be greatly
missed.
Memorials may be made to Heartland Church
referencing the After School Program.
Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley
Funeral Home of Atlanta.
