During retirement they enjoyed their grandchildren and great grandchildren, attending First Baptist Church, going on cruises, road trips, golf tournaments, and entertaining. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband in 2007 and her brother, Dr. James C. Owens. She is survived by her daughter, Sandy Helfer of Columbia; son, Jay Hicks (Becky) of Charleston; grandchildren, Kelly Kissiah (Ray) of Columbia, Laura Thomy (Jay) of Raleigh, Justin Helfer (Chollet) of Columbia, Courtney Arnold (Andy) of Mount Pleasant and John Hicks of Aiken; great grandchildren, Harper and Olivia Kissiah, Catie, Ellie and CJ Thomy, James, Lyla and Luke Helfer, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
