They were married on August 28, 1976. Vicki’s infectious laugh and radiant joy touched everyone she met. She embraced every season and every moment with characteristic enthusiasm – biking, paddle boarding, kayaking, cross-country skiing, camping, hammocking, traveling anywhere (but mostly the mountains!), 4-wheeling, creating countless outdoor memories and adventures in God’s creation with family and friends. Throughout her life, Vicki’s deep love for her family shone brightly; she was a devoted wife and mother, and becoming “Gigi” to her grandchildren brought her immeasurable joy. During the last 15 months, Vicki was a true light to those around her, even amidst her difficult journey. She loved to tell others about Jesus and was able to live out Christ’s love in a way that left an impact on everyone that crossed her path. She lived every moment with remarkable grace and dignity, her hope firmly anchored in the promise of eternal life. Vicki is survived by her husband, Mark; daughters, Amanda (Charlie) Johnson of Plymouth, MN, Bridget (Zach) Larson of Urbandale, Cally Reed of St. Louis Park, MN, and Deanna (Jake Dye) Reed of Iowa; mother, Virginia Bohlen of Waterloo; brothers, Ken (Sandy) Bohlen of Scottsdale, AZ and Doug (Lynn) Bohlen of Waterloo; grandchildren, Asher, Audrey, and Nora Johnson and Landon, Gavin, Addison Larson. She was preceded in death by her father, Clarence. Memorial services will be 11:00 a.m. Monday, January 13, 2025, at Trinity Bible Church in Cedar Falls with visitation from 9:30 a.m. until service time. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Alternatives Pregnancy Center (1006 Decathlon Drive, Waterloo, IA 50701).
