Not sure what to say?

Marian's presence and influence is still felt at Camp Creek Elementary School. I make it a point to look at her beautiful picture when I go to school as a grandparent now. She was an outstanding Principal, and an absolutely wonderful person. Her southern charm was evident all the time! I loved when something shocked or surprised her and she would calmly say, "Well, my word!" I worked with Marian when she first came to Camp Creek and I was PTA President. I had a teaching degree and Marian...

Marion was a great principal and a dear friend. I remember her greeting the children as they got off the bus each morning and she knew all of their names. I will always remember on she would dress up for special events . I love d it when she was Little Bo peep. I an thankful my daughters were there when she was the principal. We love you Marian

I cannot begin to describe how much Marian influenced me as a beginning teacher. My first year teaching was at Centerville Elementary School , where I taught 4th grade. Marian set the bar so high as an administrator, that I compared everyone that I ever worked for later in my career to her. Marian was extraordinary. I miss knowing that she has left us in this life. My joy is knowing that she has gone to a great reward with Christ

Truly, a candle in the wind, gone too soon.

What a tragedy. I knew Marian in High School at Lithonia High.
I can assure everyone that Marian is an angel now.

Marion was a great principal and a dear friend. She was always a wise counselor and so helpful with the special needs children that I worked with. It was a joy to get to know her as we opened Shiloh Elementary together. She will be missed greatly, but remembered as someone who walked her out her faith in Jesus with joy and great love.
Our prayers and love go out to family and friends at this time. Blessings and comfort from the Holy Spirit,
Nan Bullard and family

Our Earth has lost a shining light, as Heaven welcomes an angel!

What a dear friend and excellent educator! Marian hired me when she opened Shiloh Elementary and we remained friends thereafter. She was caring, loving, and thoughtful. She will be missed, but we know she's going to a better place.

Marian Hicks touched my life, and the lives of so many, in precious ways. Growing up in Lithonia, Ga., Mrs. Hicks was my choir leader when I was five years old at Lithonia First Baptist. I remember her beautiful voice and how she guided rambunctious children to sing God's praises....many years later, Marian was gracious enough to hire me as a Special Education Teacher at Freeman's Mill; the two of us had come full circle. I am comforted in the fact that I told her how grateful I was to have...
