Vicky Allyn Roseburg

September 8, 1954 - September 7, 2019

Vicky Allyn Roseburg peacefully passed away after a short battle with an illness on September 7, 2019 in Wenatchee, WA. She was born on September 8, 1954 in Portland, OR. She was the middle of 5 children to Loretta and Steve Hitchcock. She grew up in Moses Lake, WA where she attended Moses Lake High School. It was there she met Dan Roseburg. With her fun loving, outgoing personality, she asked him to the Sadie Hawkins dance her junior year and his senior year of high school and the rest is history. They were married October 19, 1973 and never looked back. Chris was the first to join their family in 1976 and Lisa followed in 1978. They farmed northeast of Moses Lake for the past 45 years. Vicky was a lifelong lover of animals, and they brought her immense joy. In particular, horses. Vicky loved horses and rodeo, and while riding her horse Ginger, she was the Moses Lake Round-up Rodeo Princess for the 1972-1973 season. She led several 4-H clubs and spent many great years supporting her daughter Lisa’s reining horse competitions, which took them all over the Western United States. Vicky was the quintessential people person. She lit up every room she walked into and would make friends with people in the grocery store line. She was a generous, compassionate soul who put others before herself. She always found time to listen and was a sincere and loyal friend. She was a long time member of Jazzercise where she made many wonderful friendships. Her vivacious personality never let anyone have a bad time when they were with her. Along with her personality, Vicky was blessed with an extraordinary singing voice and incredible range. She was regularly asked to sing at weddings, and recently sang the national anthem at the Moses Lake Rodeo. Her world got exceptionally brighter when her grandchildren Camryn and Liam Roseburg were born in 2007 and 2010, respectively. She adored her grandchildren, creating wonderful memories like picking them up from school once a week, coloring and drawing, riding horses at the farm, letting them drive her car around the shop, singing silly songs, telling jokes, watching movies, eating junk food, and going to Tri Cities to go school shopping with Camryn were a few of their favorite things. Vicky is survived by her husband Dan Roseburg, son Chris (Ali) Roseburg, daughter Lisa (Mindy) Roseburg, grandchildren Camryn and Liam Roseburg, and too many grand dogs to count. She is also survived by her siblings Tom Hitchcock, Sheldon (Marie) Hitchcock, Kelly Bundy and Jeff Hitchcock along with beloved nieces and nephews and lifelong best friend Wendy Gies. Memorial service for Vicky will be held at the Moses Lake Alliance Church, Saturday, September 21st at 11am.
