Elizabeth Jarvis Hiniker

88, of Phoenix Arizona, passed away July 12, 2010, at the home of her daughter Robyn, surrounded by loving family. She was preceded in death by her husband Francis Renard Hiniker Jr. “Bud”; parents, Stephen and Zaytha Jarvis; and sister Stephanie Harrison. Elizabeth was born in Santa Ana California, December 27, 1921. She met her future husband while attending University High School in Los Angeles. They married in October of 1947 after both served in WWII; she as a Navy Wave, and Bud as a B-17 pilot for the 209th Army Air Force. As the family grew, the Hinikers moved in California from Los Angeles to Pacifica, and to Bass Lake, where her 3 children spent most of their younger years. They eventually returned to Los Angeles where Bud passed away November 18, 1980. Elizabeth loved oil and water color painting; many of her creations are found today, with her friends, children and grandchildren. “Nana” also loved to cook and entertain; never missing an opportunity to fill her home with loved ones. In 2005, Elizabeth relocated with her daughter Robyn to Phoenix Arizona, and in the later years of her life, found love and companionship for a short time, with Hubert “Hub” Rowland, who passed away in April of 2009.
