9, 2001. She was born August 9, 1955 the daughter of Grant and Delores Larsen in Aurora, IL.
Vicky grew up on a farm on Rt 30 and lived there for a time until 1965 when the family moved to Elburn. The family lived behind the newly rebuilt Blackberry Inn which was lost in a fire in 1962. Vicky attended Elburn elementary school and graduated from Kaneland High School in 1973. After graduation she attended Waubonsee Community College for a time while still working at the family restaurant until 1978 when she and her brother purchased the business from their parents. In 1984 Vicky left Blackberry Inn and worked for Stuart Andersen Cattle Company for a time as a bartender. She continued to tend bar in the late 1980's at O.T.B. in Aurora.
