On a beautiful summer day, August 26, 2005, Elnora Litz Hickman, age 88, passed away peacefully at her home with loved ones at her side. She was born March 25, 1917, in Trenton, Utah to William and Vivian Tippetts Litz. As a child she spent many days helping on the family farm with her sister and brothers. She has always had a deep love for her parents and siblings. She attended school in Cache Valley graduating from North Cache High School. She attended Weber Academy where she received her cosmetology license. She put herself through college at Utah State University. She married Blaine Earl Hickman on August 27, 1941, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Their marriage was an example of love, devotion, and enjoying life. They had a wonderful companionship, working together owning and operating the family ranch in Stone, Idaho and operating a country store in Snowville, Utah. They moved to Rawlins, Wyoming in 1973 and to Ogden in 1992. Elnora was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was always willing to serve the Lord in any way. She and Blaine served three LDS missions to the Papeete Tahiti Mission. She is survived by her husband, Blaine E.
