Lois Etta Hodrick, who was 94 years old, passed away on Wednesday, July 31, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lois faithfully served as a mission co-worker at Global Ministries for numerous years. She first worked in the nursing department at the Institut Medical Evanglique from 1978 to 1980 in Kimpese, Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire). After that, she served in the Mbandaka area of the DRC from February to August 1984. While there, she worked with Congolese doctors to evaluate the possibility and feasibility of reopening Disciple mission hospitals in the Equator Region. These hospitals had been abandoned during the 1960s due to civil unrest in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the six months in Mbandaka, Lois worked with the YWCA of Zambia from 1985 to 1987. She served in primary health care with Zambian women near the copper belt areas around Kitwe and Chingola. Then, from 1990 to 1992, she served as a nurse in primary health care outreach at the Bolenge Evangelical Hospital in the DRC. In 1995, Lois was invited to serve for one year as a volunteer with the United Church of Christ in Zimbabwe at the Mt. Selinda orphanage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her love will be remembered by her son, granddaughter, and niece, as well as numerous other family members and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitation was held on Tuesday, August 6th, 2024, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the Jones-Washington Mortuary (508 E Martin Luther King Jr St, Bryan, TX 77803). A funeral service was held on Wednesday, August 7th, 2024, at 1:00 PM.
