have two children, Reene Thomas Hendricks and Anita Ann Hendricks, before R. T Hendricks passed away in 1955.

Mom brought up her four children by herself, teaching us to be good, honest people. She was a
mom who had to work very hard to support us as we were growing up. She always told us how she
loved each of us so very much and how we were her world.

She went to work shortly after she was widowed, she first worked at Godfeirsons's in Caliente
NV. We moved back to Logan and Mom worked at Low Cost Drug for 12 years. Then she worked at Franklin s Dress Shop in Las Vegas NV, and last Logan Knit before retiring. After retiring she
continued sewing, making beautiful clothing for her family and clients.

She married Francis Duncan Stokes on December 13th 1983. They had a great marriage of29

We will miss you dearly Mom. Hilda was preceded in death by her parents, 2 brothers, Gilbert and Edward Stock, 4 sisters, Eleanor Adams Smith, Reva Wyatt, Freda Williamson, and Irene Williamson.

Mom wanted us to make sure all the nurses, aids and Hospice caregivers knew of her
tremendous appreciation for all their kind care and help every day. She told us often how much you all meant to her and brought her so much happiness. We, Hilda's children, want to thank you so very much also. Your great help made it so much easier for us to be able to commute between our and Mom's home, as we all live outside of Cache Valley.
