Alethea Faye Robertson Hicks, born on May 22, 1951, in Jesup, Georgia, passed away peacefully on September 27, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones at her home in Pembroke, GA. She was 74 years old. Alethea was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, whose memory will be cherished by those who had the privilege of knowing her.

Alethea was a determined and independent woman, owning and operating her own business for many years. Her generous spirit touched many lives, and her love for cooking always filled her home with warmth and delicious aromas. An avid fan of both Hallmark movies and thrilling scary films, Alethea also enjoyed her favorite television series, "Golden Girls," "The Twilight Zone," and a variety of soap operas.

She was passionate about photography and genealogy, hobbies that allowed her to capture and preserve memories, and uncover her family's rich history. Her faith was also an important part of her life as a devoted member of South Newington Baptist Church.

Alethea is survived by her loving children, son Daryl Hicks (Alison Walls) of Milford, DE; daughters Connie Wells (Rhonda) of Pembroke, GA, and Angela Fisher (Ken) of Pleasant Shade, TN. She also leaves behind her siblings, sister Shirley Coleman (Chuck) of Ellabell, GA, sister Pat Allmond of Walterboro, SC, and brother Vance Robertson (Kim) of Savannah, GA.

Alethea was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Sidney Ross Hicks; her parents, Jasper Van Veron Robertson and Annie Lucille Smith Robertson; and her sister, Linda Messex.
