Theresa Y. Hicks, loving wife and beloved mother of 3, passed away Wednesday, April 22, 2015 at Cornerstone Hospice in The Villages, FL. She was 79 years old. A vibrant full of life individual, Theresa excelled as a lobby host for The Villages Welcome Center for nearly 15 years. Her love of good food, great music and a nice bottle of Chardonnay made her a welcomed friend to all that knew her. Being the oldest of 5 children, Theresa’s maternal spirit and undying love for family was always on display which made her the special mother and spouse to the family she leaves behind. Theresa is survived by her husband of 59 years Vance, their three children (Vicki, Robin, Vance IV) and her four grandchildren (Justin, Zachary, Nicole, Taylor). A memorial service will be held at the Lady Lake Chapel of Beyers Funeral Home on Friday, May 1, 2015 at 11am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in her name by calling 800-805-5856.
