Vickie was the first hairdresser I had when we moved to Lawrence in 1978. I called her because she had her shop in her home. That reminded me of the lady in my hometown in mid Missouri. We shared many family stories. She was so very proud of her son in the Navy. She referred me to her friend Lisa Herschell, upon retirement. Condolences to her family and may she rest in peace.
