Hicks

Sarah Elizabeth Hicks, the beloved daughter of the late Deacon Isaac J. and Lelia Campbell was born February 20, 1937.

Sarah attended Virginia Randolph High School and Carver High School. She married the love of her life, Thomas R. Hicks, Jr., and together they shared 71 years of marriage. Their union was blessed with four daughters.

Sarah took great joy in being a homemaker and devoted herself to creating a warm and welcoming home for her family and all who entered. She found happiness in the simple beauty of life, tending  to her many flowers and roses, watching the birds and deers in her yard, and caring deeply for her pets.

She also loved cooking and baking for others, and her kitchen was a place where many special memories were created. Her coconut  and sweet potato pies were family favorites and will be fondly remembered.

Above all, Sarah loved the Lord deeply and cherished her family. Her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and extended family, friends and church family held a special place in her heart.

Sarah dedicated her life to Christ at an early age at Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Glen Allen, Virginia. She later joined First Baptist Church in Midlothian, Virginia where she faithfully served the Lord and her church family. She served as a Sunday School teacher, Secretary of the Sunday School and was a member of the choir, Pastor's Aid Ministry and Culinary Ministry. Sarah had a servant's heart and willingly served wherever she was needed.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Cynthia Hicks Brooks, her granddaughters, April Brooks and Alicia Brooks Howard and her dear friends, Agnes Page, Willie Mae Powell and Clara Reynolds.

Sarah leaves to cherish her memory; her loving husband, Thomas R. Hicks, Jr.; three daughters, Faye A. Hicks, Teresa H. Jackson (Curtis) and Janice H. Clark (Vernon); her goddaughter, Felicia Mudd (Rodney, Sr.); her grandchildren, Tommy Jefferson (Christine), Corey Jefferson (Anita), Ian Jefferson (Erin), Dannielle Humphrey (Keith), Andrea Brooks (Floyd), Troy Jackson, Chad Jackson and Taylor Clark; her god grandchildren, Sydney Mudd and Rodney Mudd, Jr.; ten great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and her devoted friend, Agnes  Vaughan and a host of other relatives and friends. Her life was a beautiful reflection of her faith, her devotion to family and her love and kindness towards others.

The memories she created, the lessons she taught and the love she so freely gave will remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
