As a devout catholic, Victoria’s faith was strong.  Victoria was quiet and reserved but that never kept her from helping those she loved.  She was selfless, caring and generous.  Her love was unconditional, and she was her happiest when spending time with family.  Victoria was an excellent cook and gained a lot of inspiration from watching the Food Network.  When she wasn’t in the kitchen, she enjoyed time spent outside, tending to her garden.
