Carolyn Lee Hickman

Carolyn Lee Hickman, a shining beacon of  grace, departed this world on August 25 2024, leaving behind a tapestry woven with love and cherished memories. Born on January 5, 1947, Carolyn was a soul who walked gently upon the earth, deeply connected to nature and the beauty it held, she embraced the outdoors with an open heart, finding solace and inspiration in the rustling and gentle breeze.

A family-oriented woman, Carolyn cherished the bonds that united her with her loved ones. She is survived by her devoted daughter, LeAnn Stieg and her husband, Jeff, and her son, Steve Hickman. The love she poured into her family was mirrored in the bright spirits of her grandchildren: Alexander Kitchens, Patrick Hickman, Destiny Hickman, and Cassidy Stieg. Each of them carries a piece of her warmth and wisdom, ensuring her legacy of love will continue to thrive.

Carolyn was known not only for her nurturing nature but also for her forgiving spirit, embodying a kindness that inspired those around her. She never met a stranger—her heart was a vast ocean, welcoming anyone seeking friendship or comfort. Her dearest friends, Kat and Lany Nabors, were blessed to share in her laughter and life’s joys, creating memories that will be treasured forever.

Her compassion extended beyond her family and friends, as she had a profound love for animals. Carolyn’s heart overflowed with empathy, embodying a selflessness that was remarkable.

As Carolyn transitioned into her eternal rest, those she leaves behind are filled with both sorrow and gratitude. They honor a life well-lived, a journey marked by love, faith, and an unyielding bond with all of God’s creations. Her walk with God enriched her soul, allowing her to spread light and love wherever she went.

While the world has lost a radiant spirit, Carolyn Lee Hickman's legacy of kindness, family devotion, and appreciation for nature will forever resonate in the hearts of all who knew her. In her absence, we carry forward the lessons she imparted—of compassion, joy in the simple things, and the importance of nurturing every relationship. Her memory will remain alive, a guiding star in the lives she touched so deeply.
