Ricki had three grandchildren, Brianna, Reid and Lily; and she has now gone on to chase after her grandson Reid who preceded her in 2020. That she shared her love of animals with both her children and grandchildren is evident as Brianna and young Lily already take great joy in the care and company of their pets and other animals.

To say Ricki will be greatly missed is a tremendous understatement. She was dearly loved not only by her large extended family, but also in the many communities in which she was involved. Ricki had a rare gift of putting people at ease and making those around her feel special, important and loved.

Memorial services for Ricki will be held on Sunday, February 5 ^th at 11:00 AM at Vaca Hills Chapel (524 Elmira Road, Vacaville) followed by a reception at the Ulatis Community Center (1000 Ulatis Drive).
