Born on May 8, 1941, to Matt and Katie (Evoniuk) Logosz. Vickie was raised on the family farm in the Gorham/Fairfield area, where she learned the values of hard work, faith, and family that shaped her entire life.
Vickie was a woman of gentle creativity and simple joys. She loved spending quiet moments with her needlepoint embroidery, crafting each piece with patience and care. She had a deep passion for cookbooks, collecting them throughout her life and delighting in exploring new recipes. She enjoyed relaxing with word‑search puzzles, and she found joy in playing games on her iPad and phone, a pastime that kept her mind active and brought her many smiles. Her warm presence, steady spirit, and humor touched everyone who knew her.
She leaves behind a legacy of love through her children, Charmaine Kanski, Cottage Grove, MN, Colleen (Mike) Duppong, Dickinson, Charles (Kim) Kanski, Stillwater, MN, and Chris (Becky) Kanski, Dickinson.
To include her grandchildren, Christina Richard, Belfield, Caitlin Stene-Fredrickson (Tim), Madison, WI, Christian Rodakowski, Belfield, Lane Kanski, Minot, Shelby Kanski, Framingham, MA, Evelyn Kanski, Stillwater, MN.
Also survived by her great grandchildren, Clay Richard, Cole Richard, Clint Richard, Natalie Richard, and Josie Fredrickson.
She will be missed by her surviving sisters, Angie Chruszch, Fairfield, Marina (Hugh) Hlebechuk, Belfield, and Charlotte (Darryl) Heim, Dickinson.
Vickie is further survived by many nieces and nephews, all of whom held a special place in her heart.
