Vicky was a cheerleader in High School and "one of the popular girls who was always dating and having a good time". One of her best friends was Emily Jones in High School, a friendship that continued afterwards. She dated John Engler at least onceHT18 and worked washing dishes at the Chicago Inn during her senior year.HT1 Vicky was named Homecoming Queen while in High School. "She hadn't been the most slender girl in the lineup, but her heavy frame had gone well with her big chest, and the low-cut blue gown had exposed a lot of it."HS1 She gained weight starting in her first year in college and put on more after. She would continue to struggle with her weight in subsequent years.
