Vicki Groff, born Victoria Ivora Groff, was a longtime civic volunteer in Moses Lake, Washington, best known for serving thirty years on the Moses Lake School Board, a tenure so long and well regarded that the district named one of its elementary schools after her while she was still alive.

Victoria Ivora Groff, 80, of Moses Lake WA. passed away on July 31st of 2026 in Moses Lake WA.

Vicki Groff/Easter was born on June 1st of 1946 in Santa Monica to Scott and Ivora Easter.

She attended high school in Moses Lake, WA and graduated in 1964.

After graduation she went on to marry her high school sweetheart Ron Groff in 1965.

Vicki went on to become a bookkeeper for Carnation, Nestle, and Simplot and worked in agricultural accounting for a number of years before her retirement.

Vicki was civically minded and very active in her community. She was involved in the Miss Moses Lake Pageant for many years as well as being on the Moses Lake School Board for 30 years along with many other community engagement efforts.

Moses Lake School District Superintendent Dr. Josh Meek announced the name of the district's 11th elementary school would be Vicki I. Groff Elementary in honor of the long time school board member.

At the groundbreaking ceremony, Meek told Groff, "Your name will be forever etched in this community in more ways than one," and she was presented with a hard hat signed by everyone in attendance.

The school, the first of two planned under a 135 million dollar construction bond passed by voters in February 2017, held its grand opening in September 2021.

One of her great passions was working with the youth and she took great joy in seeing them succeed in their chosen endeavors. She had a heart for people and this was obvious if you spent any time around her. Vicki's faith in Christ was also very important to her and was the cornerstone of her approach to life.

Groff died on July 31, 2026, in Moses Lake, Washington, at age 80. No cause of death has been made public.

Vicki is proceeded in death by her husband Ron Groff, her mother Ivora Shafer, father Scott Easter, step father Pat Shafer.

Vicki is survived by her son Eric Groff, her daughter in-law June Groff, her grandchildren Quinten Groff and Natasha, and multiple half-brothers.

Victoria Ivora Groff, 80, of Moses Lake WA, passed away on July 31st of 2026 in Moses Lake WA. Her obituary, published through Kayser's Chapel and Crematory, confirmed the date and location of her death but did not state a cause, and no cause has otherwise been made public. She was remembered as someone whose faith and devotion to family and community defined her final years as much as her decades of public service had defined her earlier life.

News of her death followed a long local legacy: the district's eleventh elementary school had been named Vicki I. Groff Elementary in honor of the long time school board member , and Groff Elementary, named after Vicki Groff, who served 30 years on the Moses Lake School Board, was the first of two schools planned under the 135 million dollar school construction bond passed by voters in February 2017. The building stands as a lasting public tribute to her service, and it is expected to keep her name attached to the community for generations regardless of any formal memorial held for her.

Details of a funeral or memorial service had not been widely reported as of the time of writing. She was preceded in death by her husband Ron Groff, her mother Ivora Shafer, her father Scott Easter, and her stepfather Pat Shafer, and is survived by her son Eric Groff, her daughter in law June Groff, her grandchildren Quinten and Natasha Groff, and multiple half brothers.

Reaction from the wider Moses Lake community had not yet been extensively documented in available reporting beyond the obituary itself. Given her long association with the school district and the pageant community, further tributes from those organizations are possible as news of her death circulates.
