Lila Merle Moore Hickman (10/9/1917 – 5/15/2019) passed peacefully into the presence of the Lord she loved on Wednesday afternoon in New Braunfels, Texas. Born in Clarksville, AR to parents, Floyd R. Moore and Gwenola Kimbrell Moore, Lila had three siblings, Ralph Moore, Moriah Moore Reed, and Hubert Moore. In 1939, Lila married the love of her life, Glenn H. Hickman, who proceeded her into the presence of the Father in 2016. They had four children: Katy and Chuck Hunsberger, Glenn, Jr and Donna-Marie Hickman, Nancy and Steven Maker, and Marianne and Steve Smith.
Lila worked to support the war effort on the home front during World War II, and followed her husband to Germany, Japan, and several states as he served during his 26 years of military service. Lila’s life was devoted to prayer and intercession, and she continually interceded for her physical family, her spiritual family and others. Her prayers impacted people and nations all around the world. She loved supporting her children and grandchildren as they traveled the globe, as missions was close to her heart.

Mrs Hickman was a blessing to all blessed to meet her. I always loved the mini Bible Studies we had together. She is a dear sweet sister in Christ. She always remember who I was, not my name, but that I was a Chaplain.
Thank you, Robb. Our family appreciated how well you, and all those at Hope Hospice, served our mother. You cared for her well.
So sorry this is so late of a tribute about your mom, Marianne. I just wanted you to know how wonderful it was to have been around your mom off and on through the years. She was a confident woman who loved her family and loved missions both here and all over the world. She was intelligent, warm and caring. That is what I remember about her.
I bought a Christian book from a thrift store and it had Mrs Hickman’s name written in the front. I was completely touched by the notes she had in the book so much so that I wanted to contact her. I found this and was amazed at the beautiful things she’s done for the Lord. It’s shows how Jesus continues to work through us to touch others, even after we’ve left this earth. Thank you that you were a faithful servant of the Lord’s. I know you are in heaven seeing Jesus face to face. Karen
