Lou Anne Azar, May 11, 1930 to January 5, 2021

Our hearts are once again saddened by the passing of our mother, Lou Anne Azar. She passed away peacefully Jan. 5, 2021, surrounded by her family. She was 90 years old.

Mom was born May 11, 1930 to L. Dene and Emma Norris Hickman. Mom was a good wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend. She will be greatly missed. Mom enjoyed working, playing golf, and card games.

She first started working for the Army Corps of Engineers in 1950. There she met our dad, Al Azar, and they were married in 1951. In her last job she was the attendance secretary for Buckman Elementary School and spent 12 years there until her retirement.

She and our dad enjoyed many years of traveling and playing golf together as well as enjoying their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She leaves behind a son, Richard (Lona); daughter, Kay (Doug); grandson, Cody (Liesl); granddaughter, Baylie (Zak); great-granddaughters, Lyra and Etta Rose; and her brother, Clark “Doc” Hickman.

She will be interred with our dad at a later date due to covid-19 restrictions. We sincerely want to thank all of the nurses and staff at Courtyard at Mt. Tabor and the Providence Hospice nurses who took such wonderful care of our mother.
