Ms. Harriett Lee Hicks, 68, passed away at her home surrounded by family on November 8, 2025.

She was the daughter of the late Harry Hicks and Margaret Carroll (Milan “Bud”) Clarkson. She was a graduate of the Swainsboro High School class of 1974. She worked in food service for most of her life and loved preparing food made with love for everyone and her family. She enjoyed working and crocheting in her free time; not a single member of her family lacks a blanket that was made by her hands. She especially adored her great/grandchildren and the time spent with them.

She is survived by her children and their spouses, Sheree (Sean) Tuttle of Pooler, GA, Angela (Maurice O. Reese) Guthrie of Louisville, Melva Nunn of Swainsboro, Tiffany (Andy) Edenfield of Swainsboro, and Daniel (Samantha) Nunn of Atlanta, 15 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, a sister, Carol Ann (Robbie) Arrington of Swainsboro, an uncle, Billy (Edna) Carroll of Birmingham, AL, two special friends, Judy B. Lewis and Brenda Kirby, and her beloved canine companion of many years, Rue, and many nieces and nephews.

A visitation will be held Tuesday, November 11, 2025 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm, with services to follow at 6:00pm at Chapman Funeral Home with Juanita Porter and Rev. Joe Bedgood officiating.
