A doting grandmother, Vicky found her greatest joy in her grandchildren—Benjamin Byrd, Mackenzie Byrd, Elise Byrd, and Summer Farley. She attended every event, celebrating each milestone with enthusiasm and pride. Her love for them was limitless.

Vicky also enjoyed gardening, finding peace and fulfillment in nurturing life from the soil. She loved visiting Seaside, Florida, a place that always brought her happiness. At home, she adored her pets—Annie, Googoo, and Cali—who provided companionship and comfort throughout the years.

Above all, Vicky will be remembered as a deeply creative, loving mother, grandmother, wife, and sister. Her legacy lives on through the family she cherished, the beauty she created, and the countless lives she touched. She will be profoundly missed and forever loved.
