She retired from DYS due to health reasons of which she had 25 years of service. After retirement she worked part-time as an assistant teacher for Catholic Social Services. It was obvious she wanted and did work with troubled youth. She was a hard worker and very compassionate to her fellow man. She would do anything for anybody. She had a heart of gold.

My heart breaks knowing you are not here,but I’m filled with peace knowing you are with the Lord our savior. I will miss your lovely spirit my friend. God’s grace and mercy be with your children and family. I will keep you all in my prayers
My Vickie I am going to miss you but I know you’re in a better place. My mind goes back to the days when you lived with me and the boys. They loved having their cousin there because everything they did they blamed it on her. We had some fun times. May the Peace and love of God embrace all of us. Love you my niece.
When I think of Ms. Tyler I remember the times at Scioto, she was compassionate about the prisoners. She often spoke of her children and was such a caring parent. I will forever cherish the memories. Sending prayers out and my deepest condolences to Ms. Tyler’s family.
Isaiah and family
My sincere condolences and prayers to you and your family in the passing of your mother. Every time I saw Vicki she had a smile on her face. She was a very nice lady. May GOD comfort you all and keep you during this most difficult time.
