Born on May 25, 1958, in Warren, OH, Vicky was the daughter of the late Robert L. and Judith E. Foust of Conneaut Lake, PA.
Vicky graduated from Linesville High School in 1976. For much of her life, she worked at King's Family Restaurant, where she formed many lasting friendships. After moving to Arizona, she found fulfillment working as a school cafeteria manager on Fort Huachuca and assisting special educators in schools.
A woman of faith, Vicky was an active member of Sierra Vista Community United Church of Christ. She served in many roles, including President, Vice President, and Secretary of the Women's Fellowship, as well as a deacon and secretary for the diaconate. She organized Operation Christmas Child boxes for over a decade.
Vicky is survived by her husband of 19 years, Eric A. Trace; her daughters, Sarah L. McCracken (Meader) and Meghan V. Meader; her son-in-law, Travis McCracken; and her three beloved grandsons, Brett A. McCracken, Patrick J. McCracken, and Graham R. Garrett. She also leaves behind many cousins and relatives who will remember her fondly.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brother Dean R. Foust; her grandparents; many other relatives; and numerous beloved cats and dogs who brought her joy.
As a final act of kindness and faith, Vicky donated her organs, giving others a chance at life.
