Columbia Basin Herald | UPDATED 1 day, 23 hours AGO
Billy Ollice was a loving husband, father and grandfather who enjoyed nothing more than quality time spent with his family.
Billy Ollice, 92, of Moses Lake, Wash., passed away peacefully March 13, 2026.
Billy was born Feb. 9, 1934, in Knoxville, Tenn., to Dessie and Harold Ollice.
He had a deep love for the outdoors, and hunting and fishing were among his favorite pastimes. Billy also enjoyed building model airplanes, basket weaving — where he proudly won a blue ribbon at the Grant County Fair — gardening, and tackling home improvement projects.
One of his greatest joys was being a proud grandfather and attending his grandchildren’s sporting and extracurricular events.
Billy is survived by his wife of 38 years, Margaret Ollice of Moses Lake; his sons, Barry Ollice of Napa Valley, Calif., and Erik Ollice of Moses Lake; his daughter, Jennifer Uranga of Wilder, Idaho; his stepson, Steve Penzinski; his daughter-in-law, Sunny Penzinski; and his grandchildren, Maggie Penzinski, and Daniel and Tea Uranga.
The family would like to thank Assured Hospice for their compassionate care of Billy during his final weeks.
A viewing will be held March 18 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Pioneer Memorial Chapel, 14403 Road 2 NE, Moses Lake, Wash.
