Ida Hicks was born on January 21, 1931 in Raymondville, MO to Sophus and Maggie (Crowley) Hicks. She was one of fifteen children. She was united in marriage to Rex Iske on July 7, 1950 in Clinton, IA and they had five children.
Ida worked at Kay-Bee’s clothing in Davenport and also the Viking’s Club in Moline. She divorced Rex in 1976 but they remained good friends. She then married Glenn Sovey later in life.
Ida loved to go to the casinos and was always well dressed in her signature high heels and her hair was meticulously kept. She had many good friends who loved to accompany her on her adventures. Nothing made her happier than to spend time playing cards, dominoes and gambling on the “boat” with her girls.
Survivors include brothers, Lawrence (Velma Mae) Hicks of Waynesville, MO and Dale Hicks of Mountain Grove, MO; sister, Pearl (Jim) Andrew of Palisade, NE; children: Barbara Rodgers of Rock Island, IL, Don (Connie) Iske of Loves Park, IL, Dorothy (Dan) Jackson of Davenport, IA and Ron (Carol) Iske of Des Moines, IA; eight grandchildren; nine great grandchildren; and one great great grandson.
Ida was preceded in death by husbands, Rex Iske and Glenn Sovey; and daughter Doris Herbeck of Phoenix, AZ.
