She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Ukraine. She moved to America at age 22 with her family, she learned English really quickly and was working at Victoria’s Secret as a manager while raising Yana and Sasha. She had a passion for doing crafts and loved to sew and make things. She was very creative and loved to put that into work with her daughter’s projects. She lost her battle to Breast Cancer, she was diagnosed 3 different times throughout a 15 year time frame. Throughout her battle she was very strong and didn’t want to give up. You would never guess she was sick, she always had a huge smile on her face and dressed up everywhere she would go. She loved to look fabulous and no disease ever kept her from that. Victoria is survived by her husband, Steven Khan; daughter, Yana Grodskaya; step daughters, Sasha Grodskaya and Chelsea Khan; stepson, Jeffrey Khan; step grandchildren, Breyana, Jazlyn, and Anjeleana Fuentes and numerous family members and friends.
