Only recently after running into Lois Rhodes in WJ was I made aware that her husband, Porter Hicks, former New River Chapter member, had passed away in 2022.

Lois shared that both she and Porter had a cold earlier in the year, but in his case it continued on to pneumonia, being hospitalized, and after 13 days on a ventilator, he passed away.

Porter was a Chapter member in the early days of our Chapter and served as Legislative representative for a brief period.

Lois also shared that she will be moving to Montana shortly to be with her daughter.
