Vicki met her future husband, Tim, while at summer school, where he told her he was going to marry her the first week they met to which she laughed at him. She got her bachelor’s in Psychology, Social Sciences and Sociology from USF in 1991.
On March 18th, 1974, she was united in marriage with Timothy Meirose at First Reformed Church in Sioux Falls. The couple moved to Forest City, IA where Tim worked for Winnebago Industries.

Vicki was a member of Grace Lutheran Church where she enjoyed singing in the choir. She worked many events and benefits for the El Raid Shrine Sprint Car Unit with Tim. Over the years she volunteered for her sons Cub and Boy Scout groups, both of which achieved Eagle Scout.
Vicki enjoyed reading, traveling and gardening. She went on yearly trips with Tim to Branson, MO, Pella, IA, Mexico and motorcycle trips through out the United States and Canada. She especially enjoyed Cabo San Lucas where they vacationed the past two years.
