Funeral services where held Saturday for the mother and daughter that were tragically killed in a three-vehicle crash January 23 on Highway 97 Walnut Hill.

Valerie Hicks was a pastor’s wife, mother, grandmother, and business owner. She graduated from Pensacola Christian College with a bachelor’s degree and taught at Atmore Baptist Temple.
Charity Hicke was homeschooled by her mother and later graduated from Pensacola Christian College. She worked at Temple Christian Academy before becoming a realtor at Flynn Built Custom Home Builders.
“Both ladies will be missed and forever in our hearts. They were perfect examples of love, kindness, faith, and hope. We mourn their death today but look forward to the day we meet them again in heaven. Both ladies lived a beautiful life that deserves to be beautifully remembered. Please pray for her husband and all family members at this critical time,” Temple Christian Academy said in a statement.
“Charity was a remarkable soul — a force of nature whose boundless kindness, love, and generosity touched everyone she met,” Flynn Built said. “She was an extraordinary achiever, always bringing her radiant smile and vibrant energy to every room she entered. Charity’s light was truly one of a kind, and her memory will forever shine in our hearts.”
