Dear Federation Family,
I regret to share with you that yesterday we lost a dear friend to all of us. Gloria Mils Hicks a strong woman asister, mother, and coach for me many times passed away early Saturday.
Gloria was a long time federationist. She served in many roles in the federation; president of the Tampa Bay Chapter for almost thirty years; Treasurer of the Florida Affiliate for almost ten year; participated in many Washington Seminars; a member of the federation for over forty years.
Gloria was truly a federationist and “lived the life she wanted” by building her own business and demonstrating to all of us that no obstacles were big enough to overcome. If you are like me, you are feeling a devastating sense of loss combined with an overwhelming gratitude for what this woman did for the blind of Florida.
More details about services for this extraordinary individual and information about how we can support her husband Dan Hicks and family will be forthcoming.
Please continue to send your prayers and positive thoughts to the hicks family.
Yours truly,
Paul M. Martinez, President ,
National Federation of the Blind of Florida
