Obituary of Shirley E. Hicks

Shirley E. Hicks, 92, passed away at home April 5, 2021 surrounded by her loving family. She was born on March 2, 1929 in Springfield to the late George Alphonso Ouellette and Elsie Miller. Shirley previously worked at Monson State Hospital in food service and as a healthcare worker. In her leisure, Shirley enjoyed baking, gardening, friends, family, church, and traveling especially to the beach. To know her was to be blessed by a presence unbeknownst to most. Shirley always set her mind to it and just got it done no matter the obstacles. She will be truly missed and her lessons will live on. She touched many lives and was always a true friend. Shirley was proud of her blue ribbons at the Big E for her heavenly apple pie and braided rugs.

Besides her parents, Shirley was preceded in death by her husband, Richard N. Hicks, in 1999; as well as her children, John Hicks, James Hicks, and Nancy Bolduc. She will be forever missed by her daughters, Deborah Cardaropoli and Patricia Baldina. Shirley also leaves behind her grandchildren, Amy, Kimmy, Tammy, Adam, Justin, Jockamo, Donald, Tracy and Anthony; as well as numerous great grandchildren. Shirley's services will be held privately and at the convenience of her family. In lieu of flowers, donations in Shirley's name may be made to the Alzheimer's Foundation.
