Dolphie Hinrichs left this world for his heavenly home March 16th at 4:30.

His daughter and son-in-law and the king Spring Branch medical staff attended him. He dies of complications of pneumonia.

Dolphie was born, raised, and schooled in Port Arthur, Texas. He had two brothers and a sister. As soon as WWII began, he eloped with his sweetheart, Anna Lee Sikes, and they were married March 25th, 1942. The army sent them to Washington, DC where they had their daughter in 1945. After the war, they moved back to raise their daughter, Dona Dawn, in Port Arthur. After her marriage, they moved to Houston, Texas to find their destiny. Dolphie was a master plumber and Anna settled into real estate. At retirement, they moved to the piney woods and built their well-deserved retirement home.

Dolphie and Anna were very active in the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church in Houston and Livingston. They enjoyed traveling, the beach, swimming, fishing, hunting, and even bowling.

Dolphie spent his last year living with his daughter and son-in-law in Houston. His wife, Anna, is now in hospice care.
