Victoria Vande Velde Passes Away (updated)

Victoria A. Vande Velde, fondly known as Vicki, departed from this world on April 13, 2024, in Topeka, KS, leaving behind a legacy filled with love, cherished memories and was reunited with her husband, Kenny and daughter, Kimmy.  

Born on March 7, 1947, in Kansas City, KS, Vicki led a remarkable life that touched the hearts of many. She was a paraprofessional with USD 321, a district supervisor at Casey's General Store, and a clerical assistant for Carpenter Chartered Law Firm in Topeka. However, her most beloved role was as a "granny nanny," which brought her immense joy.
