Victoria Ann McLaughlin, age 66 of Westfield, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 18th, 2019 at St. Mary’s hospital in Madison, WI surrounded by her family.  Victoria was born on July 19th, 1952 in Portage, WI to Robert and Kay Christensen. Throughout her childhood she helped her parents on the family farm and worked at Bob n’ Kay’s Tasty Freeze as a cook.

She graduated in 1970 from Westfield High school.  In 1971, Vicky attended the Milwaukee School of Nursing and obtained her Registered Nursing License.  A few years later at the Village Inn, she met the love of her life, Larry McLaughlin. They were married on October 19, 1974 at Good Shepherd Parish and were married for 45 years.

Reading, crocheting, and going to sporting events for her grandchildren, were just a few things that she enjoyed.
