Jane C. Hicks, loved by many

Jane C. Hicks, 87, of Lewes, passed away Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

Born June 1, 1937, in Glenside, Pa., Jane was the daughter of the late Anthony and Rose Ciocca. In 1959, Jane married Edwin J. Hicks Jr., and together they raised three children.

Jane was dedicated to her work and enjoyed a career in tax preparation before working as a realtor with Patterson-Schwartz in Dover, and later, with Jack Lingo Realtor in Lewes. She was known for her strong work ethic and integrity throughout her career.

An avid hostess, Jane enjoyed dining out, entertaining family and friends, and creating lasting memories with those she most admired and loved. Jane will be remembered for her strength as she fought her illness with grace and dignity. Her family is forever grateful for the compassionate care provided by her dedicated caregivers.

Jane was predeceased by her husband, Edwin J. Hicks Jr., in 2012. Jane is survived by her daughter, Jo Anne Werszner (Scott); son, Edwin J. Hicks III (Dorothy); and son, Carl J. Hicks (Tracy). In addition, she leaves behind her brother-in-law, Joseph Hicks (Bobbi); and sister-in-law, Mary Louise Stephens. Her legacy continues through her cherished grandchildren, Peter Werszner (Katie), Brian Werszner (Stephanie), Edwin J. Hicks IV (Katie) and Ryan Hicks; and her great-granddaughter, Tate Werszner.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Jane's memory to Home of the Brave Foundation in Milford, Tunnell Cancer Center in Lewes, or a charity of choice.

A celebration of Jane's life will be held at a later date.
