Vicky was born in Austin, Texas, and lived for a short while in Oak Cliff, Texas. She grew up and spent her adult life as a longtime resident in the Speegleville community. She was a graduate of China Spring High School. She had a 43-year career, from 1979 to 2022, with Packless Industries in Waco where she worked in Quality Control. Vicky cherished time with her family and her late husband, Charles, (Charlie) Glenn Garrett. She and Charlie were married from 2006 until his passing in 2021. She really enjoyed the times when everyone came for a visit and to have a meal as a family. In her younger years she loved to ride horses and later she and Charlie would spend time riding the “Harley” or taking the motor home to Lake Waco or to a bike rally. She was a great cook and a big fan of anything “Pioneer Woman.”
