Vickie grew up in Wheeling WV and married her husband Jeff in 1985. They make their home on a farm near Bethesda and have considered ERFC as their church home since 2007. They have two daughters, Darcy Walker (Andrew) in Pittsburgh, PA, and Cassie Garison (Matthew) in Dayton, OH.
Vickie was employed for 34 years at East Ohio Regional Hospital and Ohio Valley Medical Center where she held several administrative positions. She completed her employment as the Volunteer and Pastoral Care Coordinator.
She loves walking with her dog, Remmi, while listening to praise and worship music and thanking God for his glorious creations. Vickie also enjoys reading, exercising, baking, cooking, and traveling. Her most precious times are quiet evenings sitting on the back porch with her husband and spending time with their daughters.
Through the years, Vickie has been reassured by Psalm 46:10, “Be Still and Know that I Am God.” The Hebrew root of “Be still” means “Let go,” reminding her that surrendering control allows her to rest in knowing God is in control, and his plans are greater than any she can imagine.
