Vicki was born on September 25, 1949, in Moline, IL, the daughter of Austin and Helen (Perry) Howard. She graduated from United Township High School in 1967. She married Tony Egger. He preceded her in death. Vicki worked many years in sales and co-founded QC Staffing, where she later retired due to her illness.
Vicki was a wonderful storyteller and had an outrageous sense of humor. She was someone who never played by the rules. She enjoyed talking…, talking…and did we mention she loved to talk. In her own fantasy world, Vicki was a cowgirl who admired horses, but in real life she was a hippie who treasured her “chirun” and “grandchurin”. Her home was always open to her family and friends in need. Above all Vicki was fiercely loyal to all she loved.
Survivors include her
Daughters Ronna (Chris) Cameron
Piper (Marvin) McFarlin
Grandchildren Nick McFarlin, Brock Strang, Aliyah Smilgis, Jack Moore and Kane Smilgis
Brother Randy Howard
Many nieces and nephews
Sister from another Mister Sheila (Ram) Samuel
She handled her diagnosis and death with grace and dignity.
The family would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Shobha Chitneni and the nurses and staffs at Hematology & Oncology, the radiology department at Genesis West Medical Center, Davenport and Clarissa C. Cook Hospice House for all the love and compassion they showed Vicki and her family during her illness.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; sister Brenda McKinney and her two sons Jade Smilgis and infant Jade Humphrey.
