© Enid News and Eagle Enid, Oklahoma October 13, 2015 June 1, 1925 ~ October 7, 2015 Funeral service for Elsie Hicks, 90, of Enid, will be 2 pm Wednesday, October 14, 2015 at Anderson-Burris Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will follow in Memorial Park Cemetery. Elsie was born June 1, 1925, to George E. and Cora M. Haley in Ringwood, Okla., and died peacefully at home on October 9, 2015, surrounded by her family. She was raised on a farm northwest of Ringwood. Throughout her life, our mother would recount tales of her childhood and growing up during the Great Depression in a loving family with five other siblings. She followed her parents' example and was a wonderful mother, always putting her children's needs above everything else. We are very fortunate that she was our mother. In 1943, Elsie married Willis A. Hicks, whom she met while he trained at Vance AFB during WW II. During his service in the Pacific, she endured the hardships of raising a child while holding a job and waiting for her husband to return from the war. This set the tone for the rest of her life. In the years following the war, she had four more children, started her career with the Enid State School, and bore the worry of seeing two sons serve a combined four tours of duty in Vietnam. In 1979, Elsie lost her husband, our father, Willis, to heart disease and continued with the state school until her retirement in 1982. She immediately went to work as a caregiver for the elderly until her own health forced her to retire completely in 2004. Her entire life was devoted to the care of others. Elsie is survived by her daughter, Sharon Pratt; three sons, Jerry, Ricky, and Randy; 10 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and many great-great-grandchildren; two sisters, Effie Eck and Shirley Hayes. She was preceded in death by her husband, Willis and youngest son, David. Memorials may be made through the funeral home to Faith Hospice. Submitted by Family |
