She and Floyd raised their family in Norco then retired to Amite in 1981. Their love of skeet shooting led them to build Norco Gun shop where Vicky handled hand checkering of many gunstocks sold in the business. They traveled the U.S. to many skeet shooting events until Floyd retired from the sport. She shot skeet for a few years but gave it up for another passion, playing Booray with her many skeet shooting friends around the U.S. and Amite locals. A great cook of many wonderful cajun dishes enjoyed by many, gardening and her precious dogs.
To her, the most important role was that of devoted servant of God at St. Helena Roman Catholic Church in Amite where she was a parishioner for the past 37 years. On Saturday, June 30, she will forever rest next to the love of her life.
