Lois Olga Ricker was born September 29, 1920 in Gretna, Nebraska, daughter of Henry and Olga (Klutz) Armbrust. She grew up on a farm near Gretna, Nebraska with 2 brothers and 1 sister.
On January 25, 1942, Lois was united in marriage with George Ricker Jr. This union was blessed with three children: Phillip, Roszella and George. They made their home on a farm near Wakita, Oklahoma.
Lois loved being a homemaker and farm wife. They raised cattle, hogs and chickens, farmed wheat and gardened. She was a member and the President of the Home Demonstration Club in Wakita. She enjoyed sewing, making quilts, attending her children's school activities and playing cards with her friends. She always looked forward to their vacations to Nebraska to see her family.
In the late 70's, Lois and Jr. sold the farm and moved to Enid. Lois went to work at Bass Memorial Hospital in the cafeteria. In 1983, Jr. passed away, and she continued working until retiring in 1990. Lois then moved to Anthony, Kansas to be closer to family.
