She went to school at Miami High School in Miami, AZ. She married Jim Coulter Sr. on August 17, 1963 in Miami, AZ. She graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Education and worked as a teacher for Deer Valley School District until her retirement in 1998. Vicki was a loving and dedicated wife, and she and her husband, Jim Coulter raised their children in a loving, caring, and nurturing home; a home that was always open to friends and family. Known simply as “mom” to many, she loved others deeply and without judgement, and was a constant source of support and strength. She was a thinker, a reader, a scholar, a singer and musician, and a deadly shot with a Ruger 22 in her younger years. Vicki also loved the Lord and the church, and took great joy in singing in the choir when she was able. She was a natural teacher who had a passion for studying American history and all things Civil War. The world is a little brighter, a little smarter, more loved, and more beautiful because of the life she lived.
