Lila Rose Bickford (née Eidt)
November 20, 1940 – October 22, 2026
Lila Rose Bickford entered into God’s loving arms on October 22, 2026, at the age of 85.
A woman of unwavering faith, remarkable strength, and unconditional love, Lila was fiercely devoted to her family. Even through life’s greatest challenges, she rarely complained and always found a reason to smile.
Lila was the beloved daughter of Kenneth Eidt and Florence Frazier (Wendell), and sister to Dan, Joyce, George, and Theresa.
She leaves behind her loving children, Jodie Endresen (Jeremy), Janice Stabner (Mike), and Tom Bickford Jr. (Wendy); grandchildren Travis Hare (Chanelle), Ashley Bugiera (Matt), Sean Valstar (Jordyn), Lane Bickford (Elysia), and Jacob Bickford (McKayla); and great-grandchildren Kaiden, Rosalee, Ivy, Briar, Eli, Huxsyn, and Reese.
Lila was predeceased by her beloved grandmother Minnie Rose, her parents, her loving husband Tom Bickford Sr., and her precious great-granddaughter Bella Rose Bugiera.
Her love, faith, and gentle spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her.
