Vicky Jones-hay:  

As most of my friends know, I was married to Raymond Hay in my sophmore year. Also known as (Butch). He served in Vietnam and died Dec. 25, 1969. After that I again married in 1972, to a local police officer, but divorced him. We had a daughter that is in the old photo of me. In 1978 I went to National Business College for a year. Tommy Vaughn and I had lunch and a beer every day, and were pals. Then I married John Jones. John was Service Manager of Truck Enterprizes of Roanoke. We were Licensed Private Investigators and partners until his death in Oct. 2005 from a massive brain tumor. I went back to NBC and graduated in 1990 in Secretarial Science. Since John died, I have kept my Private Investigators Licence and have become Certified in Forensics. Have worked a lot of interesting cases in many areas of VA. I remarried June 6, 2009 to Buddy Tolley, who I had dated 43 years ago. Well, you just can't go back. That marriage is being annulled. So once again I am single. My daughter is now 37 years old and lives in her own home. I bought a house in Springtree subdivision in 1979. I am still there. I just did a $100,000 addition and remodel to my home so guess I will die here and be carried out ten toes up. LOL Amid all of the above I wore many job titles. I worked at the old Grant's Store downtown during 1969. After that I became a telephone operator for C&P. Then office manager at Hills Dept. Store. Sales and purchasing agent for Ramsey Ford Sales in Rocky Mount for 8 1/2 years until Mr. Ramsy died and the dealership closed. This is when I became an avid Mustang enthusiest. I had a Mustang of every year from 1964 1/2 to a new one now in 2008. I showed my 1973 Mach I in cars shows and always won best of show. Even at the Civic Center for MDA. My car made headlines Then for many years I was a housewife, mother, and soul mate to John. Then I bought 3 Antique stores, the last one being Antique's Too! in Vinton. It was there that I got to see Marcia Bandy Gibson, one of my best girlfriends in school, when she bought some of my antiques. Oh, and Donna Crouch. I Don't remember her married name. And Brenda Hayes! Gosh, I saw a lot of Jefferson friends while I owned that store. The only reason I closed it was that my Mom was diagnosed with cancer in 1999 and I never left her side from the moment I found out until she passed away. She lived in NC.,(after remarrying) but I brought her to live with us for the last four months. After I became registered with The Department of Criminal Justice Service, I began a whole new career. It was interrupted after 9/11 and I was sent to Roanoke Regional Airport to be a screener until the Federal Govt. got TSA's trained. I hated that job! Just try to get a man to part with his wallet~~impossible. They would give you their boxers before the wallet. From there I went to work at Piedmont as an Inventory Specialist with Joyce Brown Yeates Lee. We both had the same 3 days off and ...Expand for more
