She was born December 12, 1946 in Kalispell. MT. Vicki was the third child to James Hill and Geneva Vestre. She graduated from Flathead High School in 1965. August 20, 1965 she married the love of her life, high school sweetheart, and soulmate David Lyons. They welcomed five beautiful daughters to their family. In 1976 they moved to Eureka, MT and opened Western Building Center. Vicki did the books for WBC in Eureka until her and David both retired in 2008. Vicki guided us through life with love, compassion, and generosity. She was the perfect wife and mother. She had a heart of gold with so much love to give. She taught us all so much from loving your spouse of 54 years to cooking the perfect meals. Her family was the center of her life, and loved preparing meals and bringing her family together. Anyone that knew her would say her personality and smile was contagious. Her home was always open and she would make sure you knew it. She loved taking drives, going to the family cabin, going on picnics, working in her flower beds, knitting and crocheting. Anything that involved her husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren was where you would find her. She also enjoyed spending time visiting & playing cards with friends and family.
