About Vicki

When my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer, he became my first person to care for. I learned patience and empathy. I enjoy spending time with seniors and listening to their life history. After my husband died, my daughter started having seizures. I've been caring for her for 20 years. After my Dad died from pancreatic cancer, who I helped care for, my Mom moved in with me. I took care of her for 12 years,until she died from a massive stroke 2 years ago. Taking care of her and making sure she enjoyed life till the end is something I'm proud of. I know a lot of people don't have family to care for them, and I am happy when I can help them. I love to fish, horseback riding and traveling. I love all animals.
