Vickie L. Hansen of Tampa was born in Americus Georgia, welcomed home, Sunday, October 30, 2011 after a courageous battle with ALS. Vickie was a loving wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, & friend. Never once during this time did she question “why me”, was dignified & gracious, and always having a smile on her face. She is truly an angel & now above looking down, setting an example to be emulated by others suffering with ALS. She was a proud military spouse, and stood beside, not behind, her husband during his military career. Vickie worked in the banking & health care industries in various administrative positions. She was actively involved in several civic & military clubs, organizations and her church Messiah Lutheran, helping others.
