Vicki (Rice) Millenbruch, 68, Saint Joseph, Missouri, passed away Monday, March 3, 2025.
She was born September 13, 1956 to George Jr. and Esther (Bryant) Rice in Saint Joseph, Missouri.
Vicki took Louis Edwin Millenbruch Jr.'s hand in marriage on August 9, 1974. Together, they brought into the world two sons, Jason (Laura) and Jeffrey (Jasmine) who subsequently expanded the family and blessed Vicki with the unwavering joy of being a grandmother to Colby, Molly, Hudson, Bo, and Beckham Millenbruch. Although her father, George Jr., and her in-laws, Louis Sr. and Ada Gene Millenbruch, preceded her in death, she leaves behind a legacy of love to her mother, Esther Bryant; husband, Louis; sister, Susan Pendleton; niece, Mandy Pendleton; nephew, Blaine Pendleton; and her great-nieces, Grayclynn and Gabriella.
Vicki dedicated many years to the New Hope United Methodist Preschool as a beloved teacher. Her vocation extended beyond the weekdays, as she was also a member of Evolution United Methodist Church where she shared her faith through teaching Sunday School and tutoring. She treasured every moment spent with her family, particularly her grandchildren, and passionately supported the Chiefs Football team, a testament to her enduring spirit.
Vicki's deep commitment to her community was evident; she was more than just a local face, she was a friend, a mentor, and often considered family by those around her.
The family will gather with friends 1:00 to 4:00 P.M. Saturday at Meierhoffer Funeral Home & Crematory.
