Donna P. Hicks, born on March 16, 1947, in Indianapolis, Indiana and passed away on June 11, 2025, in her beloved hometown. She was a beacon of warmth and friendliness, cherished for her ability to connect with others. As a devoted homemaker, Donna embraced her role with love, marrying Lloyd Hicks on June 8, 1968, and building a life focused on family and connection.
Among her many talents, Donna was known for her delightful peanut butter balls, which she made year-round, bringing joy to family members and friends alike. She was also known to enjoy a game of darts and became quite skilled at the game. Donna's love of flowers and her passion for arts and crafts led her to create beautiful flower wreaths that she generously gifted to those she cared about. Donna had a grandmotherly presence, never knowing a stranger and treating everyone she met with kindness and affection, as though they were part of her extended family.
As one of 18 children, Donna understood the importance of family, and she dedicated her life to nurturing those relationships. She is survived by her daughter, Tonya (Stacy) Cook; her son, Thomas (Sheila) Hicks; and her grandchildren, Amber (Adam) Capps, Kelly Cook, David Cook, Kacey Hicks, Katey Hicks, and Tommy Hicks. Donna also leaves behind 12 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Her legacy will continue through the lives she touched and the relationships she fostered.
