Born November 13, 1940 in Hoboken, Mrs. Hickox lived in Farmington, N.M., for several years before returning to Hoboken four years ago. She was a 1958 graduate of Hoboken High School.
Mrs. Hickox worked in retail as well as in the restaurant business prior to becoming a homemaker. She loved the outdoors whether it was traveling to the mountains, camping, hunting with her husband or just sitting outside listening to the birds and looking at the mountains while living in New Mexico.
She had enjoyed cooking, reading her Bible and putting puzzles together before her eyesight began to fail.

She was a daughter of the late Jesse and Ethel Dowling Hickox. Mrs. Hickox also was preceded in death by a grandson, Dominic Cardenas; all three of her sisters, Effie Mae Griffin, Inez Stokes and Clara Russell; and by all four of her brothers, Gillis, Lawton, Fred, and Russell Hickox.
