Mrs. Vice enjoyed playing Bingo, working on jigsaw puzzles, word search, coloring and watching old westerns on television. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family, especially her grandkids and great grandkids. She used to be a loud firecracker with the slipper, turned into the gentlest sweet soul. She was the epitome of a lady/mother/grandmother, never wanting to ask for help or anything. She adored her beautiful large family and will be dearly missed.
