She was welcomed into the family of John William and Mary Clarissa Thornley Pitcher on August 2, 1912 in Cornish, Utah. She was the tenth of twelve children. Vaudice grew up in Cornish in a large and loving family. She attended Cornish School and graduated from 8th grade as class valedictorian. She rode "the quinney" a train from Cornish to Richmond and graduated from North Cache High School. She married the love of her life, Lewis Robert Boman on January 25, 1933 in the Logan LDS Temple. They were married 3 days short of 71 years when he passed away on January 22, 2004. They lived in Lewiston their entire married life where they farmed and raised a wonderful family of 2 boys and 2 girls: Ronald Rosella Boman serving a mission in Romania, Susan deceased and Rex Zollinger of Bountiful, Sally Keith, deceased Wright of Modesto, California, and Boyd Linda Boman of Lewiston, Utah. She also loved and cared for a nephew, Lonnie Pitcher, who lived with the family for 6 years. She had 17 grandchildren and 52 great-grandchildren that all loved her dearly. Vaudice served faithfully in many church positions including over 20 years in the ward and stake MIA.

She served in the Rapid City, South Dakota mission with her husband 1975-1977. In 1984, Vaudice and Lewis were set apart as temple officiators. They fulfilled this calling for 8 years. She was member of the Lewiston Literary Club for 69 years. She was known for her charity and service to others as well as for her wonderful cooking. Her rolls were well known and enjoyed by many. No one left her home without being well fed. Anyone going to Lewiston could count on a home cooked meal and they knew they would always be welcome in her home. Her extended family rarely passed through the area without stopping to partake of her warm hospitality.
