Mother Quincy Mae Hicks, age 85, 5615 State Route 26 East, Ellaville, Georgia passed Saturday morning, November 24, 2012 at Northside Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia.

The funeral service will be conducted 11:00 A.M., Saturday, December 1, 2012 at William Grove Baptist Church, Ellaville, Georgia. Interment will follow in Oglethorpe City Cemetery, Memorial Drive, Oglethorpe, Georgia. Reverend Michael Edge, pastor, will officiate.

Mother Quincy Mae Batchelor Hicks was born June 24, 1927 to the late John S. Batchelor and Minnie Jewel Greene Batchelor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was preceded in death by her two siblings, Luther Batchelor and Artelia Batchelor Tookes. At age 15, Quincy accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and joined the membership of the William Grove Missionary Baptist Church. She served faithfully as secretary, usher and member of the Deaconess Ministry Board. To her great joy, Quincy became the Mother of William Grove Missionary Baptist Church on July 1, 2001.

In 1949, Quincy married Charlie A. Hicks. Together, they were blessed with six children. Her husband, Charlie and one son, Marion, preceded her in death. Quincy was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. She lived her life to the fullest and could often be heard saying, “Let me go while I can go.” She blessed her family and friends with her loving and kind spirit. Full of joy and life, she could light up a room with just one smile…or joke. Quincy was often referred to as “Bad to the Bone.” She will be truly missed by her children, siblings, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many friends.

Left to cherish her memories are her five loving and devoted children and their spouses, Delois Hicks Rogers (Eddie, Sr.), Atlanta, Georgia, Willie Charles Hicks (friend, Vickie), Atlanta, Georgia, Georgia E. Hicks, Atlanta, Georgia, Autry Hicks Jones, Atlanta, Georgia, Chambliss Cordelle Hicks (Maria), Atlanta, Georgia; two siblings, Lois Batchelor Callier (Willie), Ideal, Georgia and Thomas A.

Evangelist John Henry Barber, age 69 of 1099 Vandyke Apt, 306 Detroit, Michigan passed Tuesday, November 13, 2012.

The funeral service will be conducted at 11:00 A.M., Saturday, December 1, 2012 at First Salem Baptist Church, 191 Twin Church Road, Montezuma, Georgia. Interment will follow in Oglethorpe City Cemetery, Memorial Drive, Oglethorpe, Georgia.

Elder John Barber was born August 31, 1943, in Montezuma Georgia to the late Alvin Barber and Mother Annie Bell Barber. When John was born, he had a ‘veil’ over his face, at that moment his mother knew that he would be an extraordinary child and that God would use him mightily.

At the age of seven, his parents relocated to Detroit, Michigan. John completed his education and graduated from Northwestern High School. At the age of 17, he became a member of the Latter Day Church under the leadership of Pastor Creer. After accepting the Lord as his personal Savior, he was baptized. A year later, John accepted the call to Evangelize, birthing out the Gospel of Peace Ministry. During a summer revival in Columbus, Ohio, he met Marilyn Smalls.

On December 1, 1973, John and Marilyn were united in holy matrimony. To that union, two children were born: Jelani and Ashanti Denise. Marriage and family didn’t stop Evangelist Barber from preaching the Gospel. He continued to travel over the next two decades, preaching from the north to the south and throughout the Midwest touching many lives. Because he shared the Gospel of Peace, he was loved by many. Evangelist Barber fought a good fight, kept the faith, and finished his course. He made his peaceful transition on Saturday, November 17, 2012.

He leaves to cherish his memories his loving wife, Marilyn (38 years), two beautiful children, Jelani and Ashanti Denise, mother-in-law Sister Evelyn Smalls, four brothers and five sisters Willie Albert Haugabook, Montezuma, Susie Lee Hunter, Detroit, MI, Daisy Mae Jewell, Detroit, MI, Bosie Lee Barber, Montezuma, GA, Lillie Bell Oglesby (Gus), Detroit, MI, Emma Mae Cobb, Wayne, MI, J. Harvey Barber (Irene) Ecorse, MI, Robert Lee Barber, Ecorse, MI, Claudia Mae Fox, Southfield, MI, three siblings that preceded him in death, Atlou, Richard and Joseph.

He also leaves to cherish four brothers-in-law: Romero Simmons (Barbara), Edisto Island, SC, Willie Smalls, Columbus, OH, Kenneth Smalls (Cynthia) Columbus, OH, Tyrone Smalls, Columbus, OH. Five sisters-in-law: Carolyn Conley (Edward) Memphis, TN, Juanita Smalls, Columbus, OH, Jeanette Rodgers (David), Southfield, MI, Kathy Pack, Columbus, OH, a host of nieces, nephews and cousins and friends will also cherish his memories.
