In Loving Memory of Casey Marie Jaeb Hickman

Born in Chandler, Arizona, Casey Marie Jaeb Hickman brought a bright, joyful presence to her family from the very beginning, the treasured little sister who balanced a home already bustling with two energetic older brothers.

As a teenager, Casey met life's challenges head-on. Though she was spirited and at times rebellious, she grew into a woman defined by resilience and grit-someone who refused to give up when things became difficult and who built a beautiful life through determination and heart. Her natural gift with people led her to hotel management, where she found success and meaning in caring for guests and colleagues alike.

Casey married and embraced three children with boundless love, raising them as her own and extending her nurturing spirit to everyone around her. She was an extraordinary mom-steadfast, attentive, and generous-always making sure others felt seen and cared for.

She was a fabulous cook & a skilled snowboarder. She enjoyed exercising & adored her fur babies. She was one of the sweetest people anyone could know. After she got married, she moved to California & eventually to Florida with her family. She adored her nieces & nephews & they adored her too. She had such a big heart & always made sure to show it. She always made herself available, even if it meant driving 2 hours in LA traffic to see them.

In recent years, Casey faced serious health challenges that cast a shadow over her life. She returned home in November, confronting illness with unwavering optimism and a courageous desire to live fully. She was actively working toward creating a new life in Arizona, continuing to fight with the hope that defined her character.

On January 5, Casey passed peacefully with her family by her side. In a tender final moment, she opened her eyes-after days of rest-and kept them open for several minutes before taking her last breath. Her family finds comfort in the belief that her mother was there to gently guide her into eternal life.

During the final six weeks, Casey's loved ones were gifted time to make beautiful memories together. She was well cared for, comfortable, and surrounded by love until the end. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and an ever-open heart, and she will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege to know and love her. We love you forever, Casey.
