Martha Ruth Hicks - to me she was- The Mind Of CHRIST when I was lost, heart broken or slipping. She was the Epitome of What Virtuous True Women of GOD looked, sounded, prayed- Acted like. She was light and laughter-Joy...Caring, Kind, Considerate to me she was Everything Love Was supposed to be.... I met her one day my grandmother was going to Prayer Meeting at her house - After 1 night of Anointed Prayer and A plate of the best chicken and collard greens - I've ever had.... The next day or so she sent me a beautiful comforter set by my Grandmother and when I went to Thank Her-She hugged me, laughed and told me "You know you're my Goddaughter"- easily Ruth Hicks and Nettie Flagg are THE GREATEST WOMEN I HAVE EVER KNOWN" AND MY LIFE WAS BLESSED THE DAY GOD GAVE ME THE GIFT OF KNOWING, LOVING- BEING KNOWN AND LOVED BY YOU..."

"Who Can Find A Virtuous Woman?"

I Did The Day I met you.

Martha Ruth Hicks came into my life in 1989. I was dating her son The Late Andy L Hicks, from day one she took me as one of her own. My heart is broken but I lean on God's promises that I will see her again. Thank you, Edna Thomas, Sylvia West, Dewayne Hicks, and Marcus Israel for all the love you've shown me throughout the years and thank you for sharing your mother with me. "Mama Ruth" you've left your imprint in my heart forever. Love Always, Dana Jones-Minnis

Dana Jones-Minnis

Words can't express the loss of our aunt and bonus mom. She loved so unselfishly, forgave so readily and humbled herself so amazingly. I'll miss her spiritual instruction, her godly rebuke and her always showing up for everyone. I thank my cousins, Edna, Sylvia, Wayne and Marcus, for sharing their mom with so many, during her lifetime. I will always love and cherish "Mama Ruth". I thank God for such a blessing. Until then🕊️🕊️

Lisa White-Sumlar & Family
