About Warren L. Hicks
Date published: 10/24/2011
Warren L. Hicks
Warren Lewis Hicks of Fredericksburg passed away at his home on Saturday, Oct. 22, 2011. He was predeceased by his wife of 63 years, Evelyn Parker Hicks; as well as his parents, John T. and Alma G. Hicks Collins; and a sister, Mollie E. Grooters.
Mr. Hicks was born in Richmond and grew up in Spotsylvania County. He was no stranger to hard work. From a young age, he always had many "irons in the fire." He operated an Esso gas station on Lafayette Boulevard and eventually went into the trucking and excavating business. In between those ventures, he and Evelyn operated a frozen-custard stand and a restaurant, Bonnie's Grill (now Battlefield Restaurant).
After retiring at age 70, Mr. Hicks continued to go to his office on Lafayette Boulevard every day until illness began to take its toll in 2004. He always drove a red pickup truck, so when passersby who knew him saw the vehicle next to his office, they knew he was "holding court." He was a great talker and always had a tale to tell.
Mr. Hicks will be greatly missed by his daughters, Bonnie H. Wyne and Barbara H. Cecil (Charles); as well as his three granddaughters, Katharine W. Tharp (Steve), Wendy W. Wyne and Carol Cecil-Ferrer (Luis). Mr. Hicks also leaves behind three great-grandchildren, Katharine Elizabeth, William and Andrew Tharp. In addition, Mr. Hicks is survived by his brother, Marion E. Hicks; and two sisters, Muriel Allen and Ina Eley.
To Nina French, one of Mr. Hicks' caregivers, he was "Pumpkin." This endearing nickname established a bond between them that was very special. Crystal McDermont, Chassidy Hinkle and Laurel Yerena completed the team who, over the years, played an essential role in Mr. Hicks' care. Dr. Stewart Kohler cared for Mr. Hicks during many critical medical situations. The staff at Fresenius Medical Care, Spotsylvania, provided dialysis over the last 18 months. Each one made a difference in his quality of life.
A funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26, at Covenant Funeral Service, Fredericksburg Chapel. Burial will follow in Sunset Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends at the funeral home one hour prior to the service.
