Mrs. Lessie M. Hicks, 78, of Rt. 3, Box 116, Lincolnton, Georgia, died Wednesday morning, September 26, 1973, at her residence after a brief illness. She was a native of Lincoln County, Georgia.
She joined the Upper Tabernacle Baptist Church at an early age where she served faithfully.
Survivors include as follows: four daughters, Mrs. Lessie M. Williams, High Point, N. C.; Mrs. Rupert Huff, Augusta, Ga.; Mrs. Gladys M. Partlow, Augusta; and Mrs. Marie Cobbs of Lincolnton, Ga. Two sons, Mr. Nellis Hicks, Augusta; Mr. Columbus Hicks, Miami, Florida. Two sons-in-law, Mr. Samuel Huff, Augusta, Ga.; Mr. Randolph Williams, High Point, N. C. Two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Nettie Rouse, Mrs. Nora Rouse, Lincolnton. Two brothers-in-law, Mr. Lace Rouse, Mr. Jesse Rouse, Lincolnton. Fourteen grandchildren, three great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
I cannot say, and I will not say That she is dead she is just away! With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be since she lingers there. And you O you, who the wildest yearn For the old time step and glad return. Think of her faring on, as dear In the love of There as thelove of Here; Think of her still as the same, I say, She is not dead she is just away!
The family wishes to thank their many friends for flowers, food and cards sent to them during their hours of their great loss. May God bless each of you in a special way.
