Edna M. Hicks (Lebanon)'s Obituary
Edna May Hicks, daughter of Charles R. and Mary E. Fanning Tabor, was born August 1, 1927, in Richland, Missouri. She departed this life Friday, May 7, 2021, in Mercy Hospital, in Lebanon, Missouri, at the age of ninety-three years, nine months, and six days.
In November of 1944, she was united in marriage to Oris E. Hicks, and to this union a son was born.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Oris; a son, Oris E. “Butch” Hicks, Jr.; and a sister, Mary Lou Tabor Cromer.
Edna is survived by a sister, Connie Tabor, of Lebanon, Missouri; a number of nieces and nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.
She was born and raised in the Lebanon area. After she and Oris were married, they made their home on their farm, near Lebanon. Through the years, Edna was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family.
She enjoyed life on the farm and liked taking care of the cows, chickens, pigs, goats, and rabbits. She also enjoyed doing quilting and embroidery. She lovingly did babysitting for many families through the years. She loved animals and especially cats and dogs. She was a tad stubborn, head strong and a bit plain spoken, but you always knew what she was thinking. She loved her family dearly.
Edna was a loving mother, sister, aunt, and was a caring friend. We celebrate her life and know that she will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.
Graveside service will be held Tuesday, May 11 at 2 p.m. at Lebanon Cemetery.
Arrangements are under the direction of Holman-Howe Funeral Home.
