Rhonda Carline Vickerman

Rhonda Carline Vickerman (nicknamed “Grr”) was born in Oakland California on November 13th, 1963, to Linda Greenwood and Charles Anderson. She lived most of her childhood with Wayne and Leda Hunter in Bly Oregon along with Leland and Billie Hunter. She died in Bly Oregon on November 4th, 2022 at the age of 58. Rhonda was employed by the U.S. Forest service as a support services supervisor at the Bly Ranger

District. She loved her job and traveled extensively to fire incidents in the United States. Many co-workers referred to her as “Mom of the SE Zone” as she was always willing to help when the need arose. She was an EMT for the Bly Ambulance for over 30 years and was a current board member of the Bly Fire Department.

She married Gene Vickerman in December 1986 in Reno Nevada. Gene preceded her in death in 2005. She is survived by daughter Leslie Vickerman, son Justin Anderson, grandsons Ashton and Corbin, step children; Steve Vickerman, Brett Vickerman, Cindy Merkley and Stacy Rogers and their families, mother Linda Greenwood, Lyle Greenwood, sisters Helena Hite, Jadene Kness, Lue Zavos, Connie Cavens, and

Kathie Shannon. She is also survived by special family members, Wayne and Leda Hunter, Leland and Ginger Hunter, Billie Hunter and Kelly Swanton. Rhonda’s grandsons were her world and greatest love; she never missed a football game and loved to spend time with them.

Rhonda will always be remembered for Thanksgiving dinner at her house. She loved hosting and preparing turkey, ham and all the side dishes. She loved Christmas and always made cream puffs along with other sweet treats. She made popcorn balls to hand out on Halloween to the delight of the local children. She recently decided that she liked deer and elk hunting and was packed and ready to go to elk camp with Leland, Leslie and the guys.

We have a hole in our family that can never be replaced. We will miss her bright smile, sense of humor and dedication to her family.

A memorial service will be held at the Bly gym, 19140 Edler Street, on November 19th at 11:00. Please bring a side dish to share; meat, tableware and drinks will be provided. Cascade Cremation & Burial is assisting the family.
