O BITUARIES
Victoria ‘Vicky’ Biggar
June 21, 1919 - Oct. 19, 2016
Victoria “Vicky” A. Biggar, 97, passed away Oct. 19,
2016, at Golden Years Adult Family Home in Riverside,
Washington.
Biggar was born in Denver, Colorado, to August and
Anna Swanson. She joined sisters Gladys and Ellen and
brother Albin. She accepted Christ and was baptized at
the age of 15. She was active in her church all of her life
teaching Sunday School, playing piano and producing the
church bulletins. She was active in young people’s groups
and served as church treasurer for several years.
She married Thomas M. Biggar of Littleton, Colora-
do, in 1953. She moved to Canyon City to join her new
husband and stepson Larry, where she resided until 1985.
Following the death of her husband, Tom, in 1968, she
remained in Canyon City with her daughters Susie and
Sherrill. She remained active in her church and served as
treasurer for the town of Canyon City for 16 years.
In 1985, she moved to Oroville, Washington, to be
near her daughter Susie Harnasch. She was welcomed in
Oroville by Susie and her husband, Gene, and the con-
gregation of the Free Christian Church, where she served
as secretary, assisted the church treasurer, was active in
Bible study and a church organization called SALT (Se-
nior Adults Living Triumphantly). For the last few years,
she was a resident at Golden Years Adult Family Home
in Riverside.
Biggar, a beloved mother and friend, is survived by
two daughters, Susie Harnasch (Gene) of Oroville, Wash-
ington, and Sherrill Juneman of Lake Oswego, Oregon;
grandsons Thomas Biggar of John Day and Jeff Harnasch
of Wickenburg, Arizona; granddaughter Stacey Thomas
(Rob) of Bonney Lake, Washington; and a great-grand-
son.
There will be a memorial service in the spring honor-
ing her life.

Santa and all enjoy Christmas on the Prairie
Prairie City
bustles with
visitors for event
By Angel Carpenter
Blue Mountain Eagle
Prairie City was bursting at
the seams with visitors from
one end of the town to the oth-
er during its annual Christmas
on the Prairie event.
Vendors were set up with
homemade holiday craft
items at the Prairie City
School and the senior center,
where the thrift shop was also
open.
Browsers could also fi nd
shopping and activities at oth-
er areas in town.
The Teen Center on
Front Street had children
busy building gingerbread
houses — all of the compo-
nents made by Anna Smith
who, last year, made 150
houses.
The atmosphere was
charged with excitement
when Santa Claus made an
appearance.
Children and parents were
elbow to elbow in line waiting
to visit the jolly old elf.
The kids had their lists ready.
Blake Jacobs, 3, asked
Santa for play clothes.
Kathlyne Page, 7, said an
American Girl doll was on her
list.
“(My friend) Ella’s doll
Izzy needs a friend to play
with,” she said.
Twin siblings Alexis and
Colby Anderton, 8, asked
