Vicki Lea Havemeier was born June 21, 1963, in New Ulm to Richard and JoAnne (Munce) Havemeier.  Growing up in New Ulm, Vicki was a 1981 graduate from New Ulm High School.  She was employed at Pamida in New Ulm, and finished her 26-year career at 3M.  Vicki was united in marriage to Paul Maday on September 22, 1984, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in New Ulm.  They enjoyed extensive traveling around the US and overseas.  In her spare time, Vicki enjoyed painting her ceramics, and tending to her flowers and numerous plants.  She loved spending time with family and friends, with her fur babies alongside her, including her newest puppy, Miller.  When time allowed, you could often find her on the back of a motorcycle riding along side family and friends.  She was always the life of the party, often wearing costumes for the occasion.  Vicki was an exceptional cook and baker often inviting family and friends, never letting them leave hungry.  She was always up for an adventure, no matter what it may be.  May the memories forever stay in the hearts and minds of all who knew and loved our sweet Vicki!  Blessed be her memory!
