Vicki was able to connect with so many repeat guests. When the news of her passing was able to connect to so many repeat guests. When the news of her passing was shared many messages of sympathy have been shared. Her work environment was where she spent most of her days so the people she worked with became apart of her life like family, such as Marie and Bessy. Of coarse we do know her whole workplace was cherished like family. and hey made her workday and even better place. One memorable thing about Vicki is she loved to open her home to visiting family and friends. She enjoyed her yearly visits with her niece Lynn Iacobbo, her husband Keith Traynor and their kids Krystal, Lanier, Shane and Jesse. Also Jesse's daughter Autumn Traynor. Anytime they would visit they would love to try new restaurants with her. Her favorite place was Mazzarros. She would also receive visits from her granddaughter Natasha and her three children Noah, Chasity, and Colin. They enjoyed the many places they go to visit with grandma V. (vicki) Family meant everything to Vicki. On one of her trips to Rhode Island she made a special visit to her step daughter Marleen and her husband Wayne and their two children Wayne and Felicia. They found a special day to take her husband Nick's ashes to Battleship Cove in Fallriver Mass. It was a very memorable day for her. Another memory she treasured was being back home in Florida, when her step grandchildren and their kids came to visit. They went to Orlando FL. and her step grandson Ricky convinced her to go to Universal and go on the Hulk ride. Although she did not much care for rides, she felt safe with Ricky and trusted to go. At first she was petrified but by the end she came around and enjoyed herself. To know Vicki is to know her love of travel, even with her being ill it never stopped her from traveling. Her favorite place to travel to was to Memphis, TN. to visit Graceland. To celebrate the anniversary of Elvis's death. She would always make a special trip to Beale Street in Memphis to see Joe and have a peanut butter and banana sandwich Elvis's favorite! Once she visited Graceland she would extend her trip and travel to other places. Crossing more things of her bucket list. She went to Nashville to see the Grand Ole Opry the original Ryman Auditorium. Then the next year she went to Louisiana for mardi gras where she made to bourbon street. She also went white water rafting in Georgia with her Daughter Christine and her son-in-law Richard. Another trip she drove with her daughter Christine and her granddaughter Natasha from Pinellas Park FL. to Las Vegas NV. and back to Florida. They took the trip in thirteen days and stopped in every state along the way to buy and collect keychains for remembrance. They also took lots of photographs along the way. Two months after the trip to Vegas Vicki and her daughter Christine also took another trip only this time they went a bit further. Spending four days in London where they visited a good friend of hers Jenny. They were very grateful for Jenny who took her own time to show them around London. She was their own personal tour guide. Two days in Paris she made sure to visit the Eiffel Tower. Then four days in Ireland, this was her most accomplished memory where she climbed up the Blarney Castle to kiss the famous Blarney stone. She had taken the time to travel to some places she always dreamed of going. It was a blessing she was able to cross so many wonderful things off her bucket list. She was very grateful for the many of places she traveled to. For all the family members and friends who stood beside her during her life, and for all the beautiful memories she takes with her to heaven. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
