Alice Richards Cannon Hicken, our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister, returned to our Father in Heaven at the age of ninety-four in Bountiful on May 15, 2015 after a prolonged illness.
Alice was the daughter of Hugh J. Cannon and Sarah Ellen Richards Cannon.
Lloyd R. Hicken and Alice were married on March 29, 1946 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple by her grandfather, George F. Richards. They were blessed with five wonderful children, the focus of her energy and love. She was devoted to her good husband, supporting him in his many church assignments and medical practice.
She was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Born with a testimony that never wavered, she instilled that testimony in her children and shared it with her grandchildren. She served as secretary to the Patriarch of the church and later to her husband as Stake Patriarch.
She filled many callings in the various organizations of the church. Alice also served with her husband over the Brazil Mission and had a special love for each of their missionaries.
Although Alice struggled with her health throughout her life, she found great satisfaction in writing family histories.
She left a legacy of love for her posterity and had a special connection with each of her grandchildren. Her love for nature, particularly mountains and trees, will not be forgotten. Alice epitomized the regal role of womanhood. Her greatest desire is an eternal family.
No stranger to trials, Alice was preceded in death by three of her children, Kathleen, Stephen, and David; as well as her parents, two brothers, Donald and Dean; and grandson, Randall. She will be deeply missed by her husband, Lloyd; son, Robert (Else); daughter, Linda Voorhees (Kim); brothers, George Cannon (Mary) and Max Cannon (Elsie); daughter-in-law, Pat (Hicken) Kasper and Jill (Hicken) Downs; twenty-six grandchildren, and fifty-three great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 in the Val Verda First Ward Chapel, 2633 South 50 West, Bountiful. Friends and family may call on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Russon Brothers Bountiful Mortuary, 295 North Main Street, Bountiful, and prior to the services at the church on Wednesday from 10:00-11:30 a.m.
