Vickie Lynn (Boman) Osborne passed from this life Monday, January 28, 2019 at Salina Regional Health Center with her family by her side at the age of 71 years.

Vickie was born on January 11, 1948 in Belleville, Kansas to Wallace and Vida (Elliott) Boman.

She graduated from Republic High School in 1966, where she met her future husband Paul during their freshman year. They were married on June 29, 1969, and would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year. They raised two sons, Chad and Bret, at their home in Formoso, Kansas.

Vickie enjoyed her career as a cosmetologist for nearly 30 years, and after selling “Vickie’s House of Style” in 1994, she continued to share her beauty talents with close friends and family.

She was also very fond of working in her yard, tending to her flowers and plants, helping them thrive despite the hot Kansas summers.

Her homemaking skills were constantly on display, as she meticulously cared for and maintained her family’s home.

She was always on the move, and enjoyed traveling to Manhattan to attend countless K-State athletic events with her family over the years.

Vickie’s true passion, however, was her family. She was an absolutely devoted mother and wife, taking great care of her three boys. When she was blessed with her first grandchild, a whole new adventure started. She simply adored and cherished her time with her two granddaughters and grandson, spoiling them every chance she got. Her time spent caring for all three of them while they were infants was one of the greatest joys she could have. To say that she was a wonderful Grandma would be an incredible understatement.

Vickie was preceded in death by her parents, Wallace and Vida Boman.

She will be forever remembered by her husband Paul Osborne, Formoso, KS; her sons, Chad (Lindsay) Osborne, Wamego, KS and Bret (Kimberly) Osborne, Derby, KS; three grandchildren Bellamy, Cambrie and Brayden; siblings Barbara Hurley and friend Leon, Hays, KS, Nancy (Larry) Larson, Junction City, KS, Wallace “Sonny” (Joyce) Boman, Topeka, KS, Pamela (Ron) Schmit, Wichita, KS, David (Carol) Boman, Columbus, NE, Jan (Tim) Davis, Belleville, KS, and Sheila (Leo) Blanding, Courtland, KS; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and a great many good friends.

Shortly after Chuck served in the U.S. Army. He was stationed overseas in Germany as a tanker until 1959. Upon discharge from the Army he returned to work in the oilfields as a driller. Chuck traveled to Oakley to drill an oil well, stopping in at the Little Café to eat meals. It was at the Little Café that he met Eunice Vavricka who was working as a waitress.

After a short 6 or 7 week courtship they were united in marriage on October 7, 1960. Son Rusty was born in 1961. Chuck continued working in the oilfields throughout Kansas and Nebraska, until 1962 when he moved his family back to Oakley and started working for the city of Oakley. Daughter Susan (Susie) was born in 1963. Chuck later worked for Olin Kannady and then in July 1967 he went to work for the Oakley School District as a maintenance supervisor. Daughter Terri was born in 1967. While working at the school he also started and worked at his home-based business Lindsay Upholstery.

Chuck always had a love for building. He built the home where he raised his family and resided for 56 years. He built a cabin at Cedar Bluff Lake where the family went for weekends to enjoy boating, skiing, fishing and hunting. Many summer vacations were spent in Garnett helping his parents with building projects and hunting or fishing with his brothers. Chuck had a love for history and took his kids on many trips to historic places. His grandchildren loved to hear his stories about the “good ole days.” After his retirement he continued his upholstery business at a smaller level as he developed a desire to restore old buggies, pedal cars and tractors. He re-built two buggies, one for each of his two daughter’s weddings.

Chuck had a love for horses, keeping several in his pasture south of town, which worked out wonderfully to pull his restored buggies.
