She faced many challenges along the way but somehow managed to always make it work. She was always a very hard working and caring person always putting everyone else before her. She worked in Fairbury, NE for many years and even purchased and ran a bar and grill in Tobias, NE for several years. She then continued as a cook at a cafe in Ohiowa, NE right up to the day she was finally hospitalized for her illness. Vicki always loved spending time with family, especially her grandchildren. You could always see her at their sporting events or school programs. Her love for cooking was inherited from her mom Mildred. She loved cooking and you could always count her to provide delicious meals. She always made way more than needed and that was always evident when she showed up with enough food to feed 50 people and there was only 5 people eating. She loved baking kolaches and other Czech dishes. Her loving smile and always happy attitude is what everyone loved about her and will miss. Vicki is preceded in death by her husband Jerome, her parents Victor and Mildred, her brother Franklin, her sister Charlene, and special friend Albert Shultz. She is survived by her children Travis Zoubek, Kim Kotas and husband Bryan, Jerrod Zoubek and Wife Becky, and Corey Zoubek and wife Cori.
