Lola Mae Hicks, 92, of Salem, and formerly of Rainelle, WV, went home to be with her Lord and family on Tuesday, August 7, 2018.

She was born in West Virginia, a daughter of the late Richard and Mary Katherine Pack and had been a Salem area resident since 2008. A devoted wife and mother, she loved attending her flowers, canning the bounty of her garden and was an amazing cook. She enjoyed quilting and was an excellent seamstress.

She will be remembered as a remarkable lady of immense grace, selflessness and faith.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband of 63 years, Carmel D. Hicks, seven brothers and four sisters.

She is survived by three daughters, Linda Curd and husband Tom, Sheila Kay Smith and husband Phil, and Donna Hetherington and husband John. Also surviving are five grandchildren, Shelaine, Tommi, Ronnie, Shawna and Chad; eleven great-grandchildren, and numerous extended family members.
