Jaqueline M. Hicks
-
Funeral Services:
Jaqueline “Jackie” May Hicks went to be with our Lord on February 24, 2020. Jackie was born in Charlotte on December 21, 1940, to Harold and Edna Clark. She was one of five children. Jackie married the love of her life, James Hicks, on May 6, 1961. Jackie dedicated her life to raising her four children, spreading the word of God while being a missionary in Mexico and Honduras and being a caregiver to whomever needed her help. She was such an inspiration and wonderful example of pure selflessness. Jackie enjoyed cooking, playing games, and if there was a rocking chair in sight, you would find her rocking. However, her greatest pastime was spending time with family and friends, exchanging stories and memories.
Jackie was preceded in death by her husband James and her three brothers Elwood, Jerry and Richard. She is survived by her sister Donna Compton; her children Kimberly (James) Owens, Edward (Murielle) Hicks, Rodney (Cherie) Hicks and Jodi Lincoln; grandchildren Nicolas (Sara) Lincoln, Jacob Lincoln, Charissa Owens, Merissa Owens, Christopher Hicks, Schasta (Kyle) Cross, Jeremy Hicks, Melinda Hicks, Robert Hicks, Andrew Hicks, Samuel Hicks and Charity Hicks; as well as her five great-grandchildren Emma, Camdynn, Grace, Caroline and Cadence.

Mary L. Tuckey

Funeral Services:
Mary Lee Tuckey of Lansing, and formerly of Charlotte, passed away on a memorable Leap Year Day, February 29, 2020. She spent her last hours in the presence of family and a very close friend, Adla Lorimer. Mary Tuckey was born September 25, 1939, in Charlotte to parents Zahn and Violet (Metternick) Tuckey. She graduated from Charlotte High School and attended two years at Ferris College. She worked alongside her father Zahn Tuckey at Tuckey’s Machine Shop as an office administrator until her father retired and sold the machine shop in 1972.
Beloved Aunt Mary treated her nieces and nephews as if they were her own — baking cookies, cakes and candies and making surprise visits with her treats. She was an avid knitter and enjoyed needlepoint, as it showed in her prized sweaters, socks, mittens, hats and scarves — also lovingly given to the family. Mary was devoted to her family, especially to her parents Violet and Zahn, and she multi-tasked between preparing for holiday dinners with her mother Violet in the kitchen to supporting father Zahn, as he was also the fire marshal and firefighter for the Charlotte Fire Department.
She enjoyed sharing her rich family history and early days of the Bartlett and Bahr family resort in northern Michigan and the Metternick family and spending time on the farm with grandparents. She also had fond memories of spending time at the family cabin in Baldwin. After her parents retired, the three of them travelled with the Holiday Rambler Club. She noted one of her most favorite trips was to the Porcupine Mountains.
Mary worked at Paul’s Automotive until her career of 17 years at Michigan Manufacturers Association in Lansing. During this time, she worked with a dear friend, Adla. Adla and her husband Herb enjoyed many years together with Mary. Mary was an active member of the Eastern Star. She also made a difference in the lives of many children, as she knit hats for newborn babies at Sparrow Hospital, volunteered at St. Lawrence Hospital and put her seamstress skills to work sewing dresses for a Haiti mission. When asked what her favorite teams were, two thumbs up for Michigan State basketball and University of Michigan football.
Mary Tuckey was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Zahn Jr. (also known as “Tuckey”) and Joseph E. Tuckey; sister-in-law, Rachel (Van Dyk) Tuckey; sister-in-law, Lucille (Whitinger) Tuckey; nephews, Daniel Tuckey and Shane Wertz.
She is survived by Joel (Kathy), Kevin (Nancy), Phil (Stacey Banks), Brian (Ronda), Sue Tuckey, Sara Powers (Max), Julie Wertz, Steve, Robert and Ed (Carole.) She is also survived by 17 great-nieces and nephews and 25 great-great-nieces and nephews.
A celebration of Mary’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to the Grand Haven Manor Activities Fund at 3215 W. Mt. Hope, Lansing MI 48911. Friends and family are encouraged to share memories of Mary on her tribute page at prayfuneral.com. The family is in the care of Pray Funeral Home, Charlotte.
