She remained in touch with them and corresponded regularly.Vicky married Charles (Red) Bradshaw in 1960 and they had two sons: Scott and Chris. They moved to Poway in 1967 where they lived in the same house for 47 years. One of Vicky’s passions was her unwavering faith as a Lutheran. She and Red opened their home to their Bible Study/Potluck group for many years. Another passion she and Red had was traveling in their RV. They traveled all over North America, from sea to shining sea, all over Canada and to Alaska. Upon Red’s passing in 2014, Vicky moved to The Remington in Rancho Bernardo, where for 10 years she shared daily meals, games and events with the friends she made there. She had a great sense of humor, always telling jokes and enjoyed the daily newspaper’s comic strips.
