She was born 08/29/1942 to Alymer and Emily Hicks in El Dorado, Arkansas. She enjoyed reading, listening to gospel music, spending time with family, and shopping. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed making homemade candy, cakes, and pies. She regularly donated to the paralyzed veterans of America. She was always up to date on the latest country music stars and their hits. You could find her cheering on the Houston Astros or the LSU Tigers throughout baseball and football seasons. Her holiday hams were enjoyed by many and her blue eyes and smile would light up a room. She was known by many names but her favorite was “Granny”.
