Vicky was an executive Secretary at Hancock Central School, Mohawk Airlines in Utica NY and for the Board of Water Supply in Deposit.  She also clerked for many years at Browns Pharmacy. She was a member of the Deposit Civic Club and in later years enjoyed volunteering at Deposits Closet.  Vicky loved being the Regalia Chairperson of the New England MGT Register and attending the GOFs (Gathering of the Faithful) all over the world.   MGing with her friends, including putting their cars on a ship and touring in England where the cars were made, was her favorite pastime.  Traveling with Pete and friends all over the world brought her much joy and lots of great memories. In later years she enjoyed getting together with the Hancock alumni “lunch bunch” to enjoy memories with her fellow classmates.  She also derived much pleasure from spending time with her dogs.  Mostly Bassett Hounds but many other breeds down through the years could be found in the Hempstead household.

Calling hours will be at the First United Methodist Church in Deposit, NY on Tuesday, July 19, 2022, from 10am till 1pm. Funeral services will immediately follow at 1pm at the church.  The family will be having a celebration of Pete and Vicky at The Deposit Community Park immediately following the funeral.

Interment will be held in the Laurel Hill Cemetery, Deposit, NY at a later date.
