Vicki Stoner began her career with the State of Georgia, working for the Murray County Department of Family and Children Services on July 1, 1980.  After 8 ½ years there, she transferred to the Whitfield County DFACS Office, where she has been until her most recent transfer to the Department of Labor, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services on March 1, 2007.  As a Rehabilitation Employment Specialist, she is responsible for locating jobs to be filled by clients with disabilities.  She is excited to be in this position, working with individuals who truly want to go to work.  She has also been recently named to the Advisory Council for the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation. 

Vickie enjoys music, traveling, and visits with family and friends.  Since all her family lives back north in Michigan, many of those trips involve times to spend with her four-year old twin nephews and eight-year old niece.  Her parents still travel south for the winter, so that brings more visits and occasion to head to the beach to see them. 

As a transplanted Yankee, Vicki is truly glad that she remained in Georgia, now for almost thirty years.  What she loves about Murray County is that even though it has grown, and made many strides and developments in the past three decades, it still has a very small town feeling about it.  She has said that she has always been made to feel right at home, and is a large part of why she stayed.  “Yankee by birth, Southerner by choice!”
