She was born October 7, 1937, in Oxford, Alabama to the late Mr. and Mrs. Weldon (Pearly Mae Taliaferro) Hicks. She was a 1956 graduate of Oxford High School.
She was a long-time member of Saks Baptist Church attending for more than 46 years. She held the Sunday School secretary position for 17 years, with which she took great pride and served with her whole heart.
