Earlham Library Obituary Collection

Earlham Echo - February 1975

Earlham, Iowa

Hazel Lavaughn Hickman was born to Elgin and Lorana Hickman on July 12, 1918 in Harrison County, Missouri. She passed away on January 26, 1975 at Earlham, Iowa. She has four sisters; Juanita Craig of Ridgeway, Mo., Dorothy Roberts of Bethany, Mo., Thelma Harrold of Kansas City, Mo., and Delores Damewood of Milan, Mo.; and two brothers: Leroy Hickman of Gowrie, Mo., and Garvin Hickman of Portland, Oregon, all of which are still living.

She was preceded in deatth by her father, Elgin Hickman.

Hazel graduated from high school in Ridgeway, Mo. and was married to Rollin Ira Eivins on August 22, 1935. To this union was born eight children: Bradley Clint of Minburn, Gordon Eugene of Panora, Frederick Lee of Woodward, Dennis Del of Ankeny, Wilma Lavo Davis of Independence, Mo., Virginia Rose McLoud of Earlham, and Rhonda Irene and Rhoda Ilene, both still at home.

There are twenty grandchildren surviving their grandmother. She also is survived by a host of nieces and nephews.

Hazel was a member of the Pleasant Valley Church at Cainsville, Mo. and was baptised in September of 1935.

Hazel will be remembered by all who knew her as a woman of tremendous faith and self-will. During her long illness she was a constant source of inspiration to everyone who visited her or attended her. Often one would come away from talking to her feeling blessed by her words and courage, even though she was at the time in much pain. She knew the Lord as a personal ever-present companion and He comforted her even in the worst she had to bear.

She will be greatly missed by her husband and children especially, and joyfully welcomed by the Lord.

Services were conducted at the Earlham Friends Church on January 28, with Glenn Moore assisted by Rev. Davis of Pleasant Valley Church, Cainsville, Mo. Interment was in the Earlham Cemetery.
