Lucille Hicks, a former Foursquare missionary who served faithfully in several countries, is now with the Lord. She passed away on April 5, 2013, at age 96.

Born Mary Lucille Hicks, Lucille was a L.I.F.E. Bible College (now known as Life Pacific College) graduate who served as the vice president of the “Commandos Class” during her sophomore year. She was a missionary in Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua; she served Foursquare for a total of 68 years.

She was first appointed as a missionary to South America in 1953. She attended language school in Costa Rica and became a children’s pastor there in 1954, serving 300 children three to four days per week.

Lucille spent most of her missionary years in Costa Rica and Panama, but also spent a short season in Nicaragua. During her time in Costa Rica, she distributed to the local people much-needed supplies and gifts, which were often sent by United Foursquare Women groups at U.S. Foursquare churches. She also worked to open a church in Escazu, Costa Rica.

Lucille’s brother, the late Roy H. Hicks Sr., went to be with the Lord in 2008.
