She had three daughters (Shaul, Sherilyn, and Kaylie Marie) with Eddie.

[edit] SmackDown!
In 2005, Vickie began to make important cameo appearances during a feud between Eddie and Rey Mysterio which had escalated when Eddie promised to reveal the (kayfabe) secret of Rey's son Dominick. Vickie came on with two of her three daughters on the July 14 episode of Smackdown to stop Eddie from revealing Rey's secret, which he eventually promised to do so should he lose to Rey at Great American Bash 2005, though that turned out to be another one of his character's trademark lies. Vickie later reappeared at SummerSlam 2005 to try and talk Eddie out of his war on Rey (which had escalated into a "Custody of Dominick" ladder match for that night), but when that failed, she had to cost him the match.
In 2006, about 7-8 months after Eddie's passing, Vickie finally started appearing more prominently during a feud which sparked out between Rey and Chavo when Chavo betrayed Rey and accusing him of being "nothing but a leech living off the blood of the Guerrero name", a declaration he made on the August 7 episode of SmackDown. A fight broke out after that statement, and Vickie came out to separate it, following which she tried to play peacemaker between the two friends turned (kayfabe) bitter enemies until after she seemingly inadvertently interfered in the Chavo vs. Rey match at SummerSlam 2006, costing Mysterio the match. She then betrayed him and sided with Chavo on the very following SmackDown, hitting Mysterio in the back with a steel chair. She would then declare herself Chavo's business manager and Rey an "insignificant chapter" in her past.
On October 8, 2006, at No Mercy Chavo lost to Rey Mysterio in a falls count anywhere match, after the match Vickie was crouched over Chavo screaming at Rey Mysterio. The very SmackDown after, on October 15, Chavo and Vickie challanged Rey Mysterio to an "I Quit" match. On October 22, 2006 Rey Mysterio quit after he was stuck in a light tower off to the side of the stage. Mysterio had the advantage until Vickie interfered with one of Mysterio's high flying moves. Chavo then took advantage, bashing Mysterio's leg with a chair until he quit. Mysterio was then taken out of the arena on a stretcher.
On October 27, 2006 Chris Benoit went up to Vickie and asked her what was going on with her and Chavo betraying Rey. Vickie simply just said, "Now Chris, Rey never gave my family a chance to move on and I know that you and Eddie were also very close, but not as close as you thought."

[edit] Trivia
- Vickie's participation in the Rey vs. Chavo angle has been the subject of much criticism since it was first announced. Many have seen it as distasteful and disrespectful to Eddie's memory, despite (or perhaps because of) Rey Mysterio's continued involvement in Eddie Guerrero 'tribute' angles.
- Vickie never actually managed Rey Mysterio or Eddie Guerrero. However, during her SmackDown! appearances, commentator JBL continues to say that Vickie was "in Eddie's corner" during his life and "in Rey's corner" between then and the feud with Chavo, thereby crediting her within kayfabe as a spiritual or inspirational assistant to both Eddie and Rey's world championship reigns.
