Vicki Hodson, 55, of Anderson, Indiana unexpectedly passed away August 3, 2020. Vicki was born on June 17, 1965 at the Naval Hospital in Great Lakes, Illinois to David Leroy Galbraith and Carolyn Sue “Susie” Adair Galbraith.
Vicki attended Lawrence Central High School graduating in 1983 and Ivy Tech Community College earning national honors with her Registered Nurse degree. She had worked as a “baby/mommy nurse, which was her passion, at Community Hospital North in Indianapolis, and as a travel nurse servicing Vermont, Connecticut, Boston, Las Vegas and falling in love with Pismo Beach, California where she and her beloved husband Larry lived for 3 years, before returning to Indiana in 2017. She worked at North Star in Connersville and St Vincent in Anderson as a behavioral health and addiction recovery nurse until 2019 when she became dedicated to caring for Larry full time.
She met Larry Lee Hodson in 1984 and dated for a short time. They reconnected in 1991 marrying on March 6, 1992 in Hope, Indiana. This wasn’t your typical husband and wife relationship. They truly were “one”. She loved Larry with every piece of her being and he loved her with every piece of his.
She loved to create personalized baby blankets and watch sappy Hallmark movies, especially Christmas movies and crime shows, Vicki was well rounded in her viewing habit. She was an amazing decorator and especially enjoyed decorating for Halloween and Christmas. She loved to entertain and was happy to host holiday parties and invite friends or family over for dinner as long as Larry would cook. She was extremely proud of her boys David and Jamey and missed them terribly while she traveled.
