Vicki was born in St. Paul and the family moved to Blaine when she was a toddler. She started school in Fridley, but in the 6th grade, the family moved to Isanti and she graduated early from Cambridge High School in January 1984.During high school, her focus was on office courses- accounting, word processing, business, etc.

She continued working in restaurants after high school.Vicki married Brett Simonson in April of 1984 and their son David was born in 1986.

Vicki worked at the Volunteers in America “Bar None Boys Ranch” in St. Francis for 2 years. She was residential counselor for autistic children.Since she had had years of experience working with a developmentally disabled stepbrother, she was well-fitted for this type of work.

Her next job was with Cambridge Metals & Plastics where she did office work for 2 years.

Then, for 13 years, Vicki worked for Mo-Tech (Modern Technology), an automotive industry.She began as a receptionist, but eventually became the Human Resources Manager.She took some college courses while at this position.

Vicki and Brett divorced in 1992.Vicki had worked for many years with Todd Elliott at Mo-Tech and they were married in July, 1997.Todd brought 2 children- Candy and Clint to the union.
