Vicki committed her life to Christ over 20 years ago and walked with Jesus daily. Vicki was very caring and could always be found with a smile on her face. This was especially true on her school bus. Vicki worked for over 30 years as a bus driver at Ottawa-Glandorf Schools. She had a special bond with the students who rode her bus. She loved them all as her own. Vicki will be remembered for her love for Jesus and the importance she placed on spreading that message with her family and friends.
Vicki will be greatly missed by her family who loved her dearly.
There will be a memorial service at Gateway Church, 620 N. Main St., Findlay, on Saturday, August 8, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. with Pastor Jon McKanna officiating. Due to the overwhelming amount of support and concern, there will be a short receiving line in the front of the church before Vicki's celebration service beginning at 9:00 a.m. We apologize in advance that the church can only hold a limited amount of people.
