Vanessa worked for 20+ years at Capital City Products Home of the Dixie, also known as, AC Humko, Pepsico, and others. She ran her own cleaning business, drove for Safelift Transportation and then ended her working career at Children’s Hospital.

Vanessa was a child of God who enjoyed helping others. She was an amazing cook and baker known for her homemade peanut butter fudge. She was very spontaneous and loved to travel. Her smile would warm your heart and her laugh would touch the heavens. Most importantly she cared for, befriended, and loved her dogs!
