Obituary

Rebecca "Becky" J. Hix, 94 passed away on January 12, 2025, at her home. She was born on Friday, February 7, 1930, to the late Merle A. and Ethel M. (Foust) Blinn. She married Robert "Bob" Hix on June 5, 1949, at the Dillman Church. They celebrated 71 years of marriage together.

Becky was a kind, humble woman who loved the Lord. She was a member of the Hanfield Church's ladies' group that would serve meals on various occasions.

She was a member of the Happy Homemaker Extension Club for over fifty years. She volunteered at the Grant County 4-H fair until she wasn't able. When she wasn't involved with group activities, you could find her with her husband and children working on their family dairy farm. She attended many of her grandchildren's activities.

She is survived by her sons, Tom (Joanne) Hix, Roy (Beth) Hix, and Ronald (Julie) Hix, daughter, Maribeth Hix, grandchildren, Scott (Abbie) Hix, Kristen (Jeff) Gioe, Mary (Matt) DeLong, Peter (Catherine) Hix, John (Jess) Hix, Simon (Amanda) Hix, Rachel Hix, Andrew Hix, and Trevor (Laura) Hix, 21 great grandchildren, 1 great great granddaughter, sisters, Doris Blinn and Mary Lou Blinn, brother, Jim (Jackie) Blinn, sisters-in-law, Rita Blinn, Margaret Brown, and Jondajane Childers, brother-in-law, Jerry (Barbara) Pearson and several nephews and nieces.
