Mae Hicks, 88, of Cross lanes, WV formerly of Yawkey, was greeted by the Heavenly Angels on Wednesday, February 13, 2013. She was born on August 8, 1924 in Lincoln County close to Alkol. She was one of ten children born to Shelt and Dolly Stone Egnor, who predeceased her along with her sisters, Agnes, who died as a toddler, and Lena Griffith; four brothers, Marvin, Raymond, Ronald and Junior; and her husband of 53 years, L. E. “Steve” Hicks.

She was a member of Amy Baptist Church at Yawkey for over fifty years. She and Steven owned and operated Hicks Pennzoil at Yawkey for thirty years before retiring.
Her family expresses a very special Thank You to Terri Coiner for her time and friendship to Mom, and to the staff at Rose Terrace in Culloden, WV for their loving care and help. God Bless you.
Graveside service will be 2:00 pm Sunday at Orchard Hills Memory Gardens at Yawkey with Pastor Butch Leadman officiating.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Mae’s memory to Amy Baptist Church, 4 Walnut Dr., Yawkey, WV 25573.
Ms. Hicks was just a joy to be around. While growing up, I mowed her lawn for her for many years! Always the perfectionist…she often lessoned me on the proper mowing and trimming of her lawn. Fond memories of her…she will be missed!
So sorry for your loss. If there is anything we can do please don’t hesitate to get in touch…304-444-4212. You did an amazing job as son and caregiver. Please know that you are forever in our prayers. Jonni and Bub Kilgore.
We, at The Lincoln Journal, Hamlin, are very sorry for your loss. I loved to talk with Reva when she would call in, sometimes just to talk and find out what was happening. She was a good person. Phyllis Stowers (Hill)
