Ms. Huckie, as she was affectionately known, was a fashion icon in her own right. She was iconic for her elegant style in hats and heels. On any given Sunday, you could find her wearing the finest hats, tailored suits, and fashionable heels no lower than 4-inches.

Mother Hicks worked in various capacities over the years. She performed domestic duties for 20 years. Most notably, she worked at West Point Pepperell for 26 years, retiring in 1991. Though she had no formal education, she cultivated lifelong learners that yielded educators, medical professionals, entrepreneurs, NFL players, stylists, designers, and ministers. Her life illuminated sacrifice, dedication, and wisdom. Her motto was “A wise woman builds her house, but a foolish woman will pluck it down with her own two hands!”

Mother Hicks was called by many different names: Mudear, Ma, Wisdom, GG, and Gran. However, the name she adored the most was Woman of God. She joined Pillar of Fire at 12 years old. Pillar of Fire became Straight Life Church of God. In 2001, Straight Life Church of God became O.H. Ministries. Mother Hicks worked tirelessly alongside her husband doing kingdom work. Through the years she served in many roles in ministry including, but not limited to Sunday school teacher, musician, drummer, head of the hospitality committee, and she provided transportation. She was well known for her angelic voice and enjoyed singing at home with her family and at church. Her spiritual anthem was “If It Wasn’t for The Lord, What Would I Do?”.
