Betty loved God with a passion. She read her Bible and prayed adamantly. She also loved living on her mountaintop ranch in Seaside, Oregon where she prayed and meditated on the Lord without ceasing. Her home was always filled with love and great food for all who visited.
Betty was a great cook. Betty co-partnered the opening of two Portland restaurants, The Truck Stop Cafe on Columbia Blvd and Babe's Chili Parlor on then Union Avenue, where she cooked and co-managed daily operations. Betty operated her own pie company, Betty's Pies, while living in Alaska. She baked the best miniature pies and distributed them to convenience stores.
Betty had a strong work ethic, earning a living doing domestic work as a seamstress, housekeeper and cook. She truly enjoyed gardening and carrying for her dogs. Her last pup, Lady, mourns Betty's passing as well. Betty lived life without any regrets—knowing she was always led by the Lord, and by proudly doing the best she could with what she had.
This spirit-filled woman is remembered by her daughter, Rachel Brown; granddaughters, Tracey Wood (husband, COL. Kelvin Wood), and Laleisha Thompson; grandson, Byron Thompson; two great-granddaughters, Briana Britton and Tabitha Wood. Mrs. Hicks is also survived by three sisters, Elizabeth, Rose, and Georgia; brother, Robert; and a host of cousins. She was loved by many to include: Joshua Manus, Shavyonne Mills, Jessica Spencer, and others.
On November 30th, Betty Jean Hicks peacefully departed this life to be with her Lord and Savior, while nodding in her favorite chair at her home in Seaside, Oregon.
