Vickie relocated to New York in the 1940’s, where she pursued her education in cosmetology while working and taking care of her three children.

She later opened a second location in Pickering.

Vickie joined the Unity Church of Agape under the leadership of the late Pastor Violet Headley, where she served faithfully for many years. She was a proud, loving, wise woman-always independent, always willing to listen and give advice to those who came to her, whether it was family or friend.
