Vikki was raised in multiple towns in Missouri, with her big, blended family made up of her mom, Donna, stepdad Pat Crabtree, her brothers, Steve and Eddie Crabtree, Danny and Jimmy Higginbotham, her sisters, Tish (Findley), Shirley (White), Peggy (Berry), Janice (Kitrel) and Shanna Crabtree. As a kid growing up, she was one of the “boys”. She spent her time following her brothers everywhere.
Vickki was a mother to four kids, Jennifer, Shane (Tami) Smith, Alicia (Dan) Barmann, and Kristine (Jake) Gammon. Vikki was the proud grandma to eight grandkids: Olivia, Caleb (Kayla), and Abbigail Smith, Natasha and Zackary Gardner, and Coby, Hailey and Kinley Gammon; three great-granddaughters, Fayelea and Haislyn Underwood and Navy Gardner.
Vikki was preceded in death by her father, James Higginbotham, her mother, Donna Booker (Zaring), stepfather Pat Crabtree, stepbrother, Eddie Crabtree and a little brother, aka best friend Jimmy Higginbotham.
A celebration of life will be held on a date in the future, which will be announced by her children.
