Vickie was born to parents, George and Marble Greene in Jefferson City, Missouri on April 10, 1947. Her mother passed away shortly after, and Vickie was raised by relatives in Missouri, Illinois, and Nebraska. In 1968 she moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where she met her first husband Charles (Chuck) Butts. They married in Colorado Springs in the summer of 1969 and moved to San Rafael, California, where they had their two daughters, Tamara and Stacie. Vickie and Chuck ultimately made the decision to raise their children in Chuck's hometown of Jefferson, Wisconsin, where Vickie lived until Chuck's death in 1991. In addition to operating the Jefferson County Humane Society with Chuck for many years, Vickie was very active in the local schools, arts, and theater, and raised several foster children, including Kathy Zweig and Theresa White. Vickie then moved to Ashland, Missouri and eventually back to Colorado Springs in 1992. There, she met current husband, Jerry Urban, and his two grown sons, Jay and Jason.
