Megan Elizabeth Hicks was born in Monroe, Michigan on January 16, 1971.   She was the daughter of the late Marvin Hicks Sr. and Donna (Swartz) Hicks.   Megan attended Monroe Schools and graduated with the Class of 1989.

Megan was friendly and outgoing.   She enjoyed conversing with others and making people smile.   For several years she was employed as a greeter at Meijer in Monroe, and while living in Greensboro, North Carolina she had worked in the same capacity for Harris-Teeter. Megan also volunteered at Mercy Memorial for over a year.    

Megan was well-known in her neighborhood often perusing the community.   She enjoyed visiting the Hampton Plaza stores and the Coney Island Restaurant.   Being so well-known the neighbors often referred to her mother Donna as just: “Megan’s Mom”.

In her spare time, Megan liked to watch television.    She was an avid University of Michigan Wolverine fan.   She was also a diehard supporter of her favorite NASCAR driver, Geoff Bodine.   Megan seemed to be fearless.   She was even willing to go head to head with her friend, local champ, Bronco McKart in a boxing match.

Recently, Megan had begun crocheting and her work would become beautiful blankets.
