Vicki dedicated 22 years of her career as a Manager of Dry Cleaners, where her hard work and friendly nature touched many in the community. Beyond her professional life, she was an avid reader with a particular passion for cookbooks and a deep love for traveling. Her sense of humor and the profound value she placed on her family will be forever remembered by those who knew her.

Vicki is survived by her devoted husband of 40 years, Jay Anderson. She leaves behind her two sons, Matthew Lee Hanson and Wife Brandi and Markus William Hanson and Wife Angela.

Her memory lives on with her nieces, Velva Feelhaver (Kale), Burgundy Abboud, Shelby Urich, and Tiffany Richards; her nephews, Jeffery Urich, Christopher Urich, and Brandon Anderson; and her beloved dog, Boo Boo.

A testament to her strength, Vicki underwent open-heart surgery on May 4, 2023, a milestone that allowed her family and friends to cherish her presence for even longer.
