Sally Vaughan Hill (Busby)

Sally Vaughan Hill (Busby) left this earth and headed for Heaven on November 7, 2012, she was 57 years old. Sally was born on October 21, 1955 in Snoqualmie, WA to Cecil and Vaughan Busby. Raised on the Old Coal Mine Road in Snoqualmie and attended Mount Si High School. She graduated with honors and went on to get an AA degree with every intention of attending the University of Washington to study medicine. Life got in the way, and Sally married Tom Wyrsch in November 1977. Sally said her greatest accomplishment was her son Lucas who was the pride and joy of her life. One could find Sally outside anytime skiing, hiking, biking, swimming or horseback riding. She loved to dig in the dirt, gardening, making things beautiful. She worked for the school district driving bus while Luke was little then went on to the cities of Snoqualmie, Issaquah and finally retiring with the City of Kirkland Fire and Building Department in 2000 after receiving “Employee of the Year” for the Building and Fire Department. She loved her career and retirement was difficult for her Type A – DNA. There have been several tough moments over the years, but when people would comment on how great she looked considering, she said God knew how vain she was and it was all his doing she just had to keep up her end of the giving and loving and kindness. Sally was strong in faith and trust in God and when her health kept getting worse, she became the family “prayer warrior”. She loved deeply and forever always encountering with her beautiful smile. She loved her son and was so proud of him and her family, reminding Lucas that if he ever learned just one thing in life, it was to love, be kind and compassionate and to follow the dreams of his heart.Sally spent 7 years in Sandpoint, Idaho running from being sick and skiing Schweitzer Mountain where she met Steven Wright, married him, and left for the Cook Islands in the South Pacific. Wishing she could travel more didn’t work out, but love of Lucas and family brought her home to the Valley to live the rest of her life looking at the mountain she loved and loving the people who lived here. She is survived by her son, Luke Wyrsch of Snoqualmie and siblings: Terry Busby, Mary Ann Barth, Patrick Busby, Claudia Busby and Brian Busby. Her brother and best friend Michael passed away in March 2010. Sally leaves behind many nieces and nephews to carry on the Busby tradition. She will be missed by many friends.A celebration of her life will begin at 12pm on Saturday, December 1, 2012 at Snoqualmie Valley Alliance Church, 36017 SE Fish Hatchery Road, Fall City, WA 98024.
