Victoria G. "Vicky" Schenk, age 67, of Belleville, WI passed away on Monday, July 21, 2014 at St. Mary's Care Center, Madison. She was born on April 26, 1947 at St. Mary's Hospital in Madison to her parents Herbert F. and Victoria M. (Gehin) Schenk. Vicky graduated from Oregon High School in 1965 and attended Holy Mother of Consolation Grade School in Oregon. Vicky was an avid crafter, had more than one project going at a time, and loved to crochet into the wee hours of the morning. She donated many projects every year to the senior center craft fair. She enjoyed the Friday morning time-out get-togethers with friends from the senior center. If you mentioned Branson, her face would light up. She loved going on her annual trip to Branson with her Mother and always enjoyed reminiscing about those trips. She loved to travel on bus trips until her health prohibited any more journeys. Her compassion and empathy for the less fortunate showed in her life and work for over 30 years at Badger Prairie Health Care Center. She leaves behind her much loved brothers, Jim (Ginna), Jerry (Sue), Roger (Sandy); nieces and nephews Michelle, Mike, Tammy, Cindy, Mary and Scott; and eleven great nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Herbert and Victoria, and nephew Paul Schenk.
