Donnie G Hickman
December 14, 1945 — March 13, 2021
She was an avid reader. In 1995, her lifelong love for books and a desire to instill the love of reading in others led to her employment at the Burke County Library, where she worked for over 20 years. She formed many special friendships with her co-workers and patrons of the library that she truly cherished.
She was a wonderful cook and enjoyed cooking for family and friends. Many special memories were made through the years with the ones she loved sitting around her dining room table enjoying a delicious Sunday lunch she prepared. She loved rabbits, the color pink, and sitting on her front porch visiting with friends.
She is survived by her siblings, whom she loved dearly, Bob Hickman of Hephzibah, Charlotte Elliott (Jerry) of Girard, Freida Robinson (Butch) of Sardis, Terry Hickman (Alane) of Millen, and Patricia Hickman of Boston, GA. Seven nieces and nephews, whom she adored with all her heart, Bob Hickman, Jr. (Fran) of Augusta, Jennifer Neal (Chris) of North Augusta, Jessica Webb (Clint) of Boston, GA, Wren Elliott of Girard, Robin Elliott (Denise) of Girard, Andrew Hickman (Amber) of Millen, and Ansley Thompson (Tyler) of Millen. Eleven great nieces and nephews, several cousins, and two very special friends who were like family, Cathy Wynne and Barbara Jenkins.
