With deepest sorrow and profound love, we announce the passing of our beloved mother Nancy E. Hicks, who left us peacefully on Sunday, July 21, with her family by her side. She was 92 years old.
Born in Bristol VA, Nancy was a woman of incredible strength, boundless generosity, and an abundance of love. Her passions included cooking, reading, sewing, and her unending faith. She was especially known for her homemade meals. Her home was a gathering place filled with love and joy, where she welcomed all with open arms. She worked until age 78 for Wachovia, where she was a loyal and trusted employee and friend to many.
Her greatest joy in life was her family. She is survived by her children: Gina Knight, Eric Hicks (Karolina), Lori Hicks, and Joni Hicks who were the light of her life, and her grandchildren Kelsey Knight Watkins (Nick), Lauren Hicks, Riley Hicks and Reese Hicks who all brought her endless joy.
She was predeceased by her loving husband Randall H. Hicks and parents William and Mildred Balthis.
A private family celebration of life will be held in the near future.
The family would like to extend their thanks to the staff at Rex Hospital, Heartland Hospice, and Sunnybrook Rehabiltation Center for their care and compassion. A private family gathering will be held at a later date. Memorial tributes and messages of sympathy for the family can be left in the "Add a Memory" box below. Brown Wynne of Cary is honored to serve the Hicks family.
