She was a proud business owner and entrepreneur in the homeowner cleaning industry before retirement.
Patricia was preceded in death by her father, Jack B. Hicks; her mother, Edna L. Hicks; her brother, David L. Hicks; and many four-legged furry companions. She is survived by her three siblings. Her brothers, Jeffery M. Hicks and Eugene B. Hicks, and her sister, Mira J. Randles. She is also survived by her two daughters. Her eldest daughter is Tanya M. Snipes and spouse Walter L. Snipes Jr. Her youngest daughter is Trichell M. Shields and spouse Christopher A. Shields. Tricia had six grandchildren. Her eldest grandchild is Jazzmyn S. Reynolds and her spouse David B. Reynolds. Jazzmyn is followed by Jozlynn A. Carson, Sophia A. Shields, Evelyn C. Shields, and Oliver C. Shields. Her youngest grandchild was Jayson D. Snipes. Tricia had four great grandchildren. The oldest great grandchild is Juno J. Reynolds. Juno is followed by David J. Reynolds and Jack D. Reynolds. Her youngest great grandchild is Joseph B. Reynolds. Tricia had two loving pups Tia Marie and Tootie.
If you had a relationship with Tricia, of any kind, I guarantee it was passionate. We all knew the good, the bad, and the ugly. But the very best part of her, that few got to witness, was the relationship she had with her “Great Grands.” They were her entire world and the one thing in her life that she felt she truly got right. And she did.
I’m under the impression that most would define their loved one as a kind individual that would have given the shirt off of their back to anyone and everyone. However, my Grandmother, my Me Me, is best defined as someone who would have gone above and beyond for her animals instead. The companionship she shared with her dogs was greater than any friendship she ever had. I am honored to reunite her with her bestest friend, Cajun.
Tricia took great pride in her yard and worldly possessions. She received her green thumb from her mother. Tricia felt that the best fried green tomatoes were the ones she had grown herself. Her yard was always filled with vegetables, fruits, and flowers. The very best spot at her house was sitting out on the porch, pups in your lap, feeling the breeze, and listening to her wind chimes.
