Myrtice Etheleen (Hickox) Hickox

Mrs. Myrtice Etheleen (Hickox) Hickox, 85, of Hoboken, passed away Friday afternoon, December 19, 2025, at HCA Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, FL.

Born in Hoboken, GA on November 13, 1940, she lived in Farmington, NM for several years before returning to Hoboken four years ago.  Mrs. Hickox was a 1958 graduate of Hoboken High School.  She worked in retail as well as in the restaurant business prior to becoming a homemaker.  Mrs. Hickox loved the outdoors whether it was traveling to the mountains, camping, hunting with her husband, or sitting outside listening to the birds and looking at the mountains while living in New Mexico.  She had enjoyed cooking, reading her Bible; and putting puzzles together before her eyesight began to fail.  She was a member of Spring Hill Baptist Church in Hoboken and will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.

She was a daughter of the late Jesse & Ethel Dowling Hickox.  She was also preceded in death by a grandson, Dominic Cardenas; all three of her sisters, Effie Mae Griffin, Inez Stokes, and Clara Russell; and by all four of her brothers, Gillis, Lawton, Fred, and Russell Hickox.
