LEGACY
WINTER 2022
H i c k s ’ L e g a c y: Give Where You Live Mary Ann Hicks loved to travel. Her friend, Les Miller, thinks she learned to love it as a young woman. Her parents owned an auto parts store in Clay County and took the family on car trips well before interstate highways connected us – back when car travel was an adventure into the unknown around every curve. “Every trip she took, she loved,” Miller said. “Her house was filled with mementos and photos from them. She kept travel logs and diaries so she would be reminded of where she had been.” “She went to Sydney, Australia,” said friend, Mary Jane Willoughby. “. . . on a safari . . . to France . . . Ireland . . . England . . . everywhere – and remembered everything.” She often brought home things from each of her trips to remind her of the places. She loved to show and talk about them, Willoughby added. Ann at Masai Mara Game Park, Kenya, Africa
There were few spots on earth Hicks – who preferred to be called Ann – did not visit, but when she decided to leave a legacy to her parents and her community, she chose to do so back home in Clay County. When Hicks passed away on December 16, 2020, she left provisions in her estate plans to fund three separate endowment funds at the Community Foundation: The Mary Ann Hicks Fund for Forest Park Golf Course, The Cyril W. and Mary H. Hicks Memorial Fund for Forest Park, and The Cyril W. and Mary H. Hicks Scholarship Fund.
HICKS IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE. “ MS. SHE CREATED THREE SEPARATE FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE THINGS SHE BELIEVED WERE IMPORTANT.
”
Beth Tevlin, President & CEO of the Community Foundation

Hicks’ work and investments gave her the opportunity to travel while affording her the opportunity to give back to her community, enjoying life on her own terms as she did so. One particular enjoyment was frequenting Forest Park, especially on Wednesdays with her golf group. “(Hicks) lived around the corner from us,” said Troy Farris, the club pro at Forest Park Golf course. He said she helped with their junior clinic and was adamant about improving her own game. “She did not like playing bad golf,” Farris chuckled as he spoke. “She did not like hitting a bad shot.” He said he appreciated her self-deprecating sense of humor, and her candor when it came to expressing her opinion. “She wouldn’t mince words,” Willoughby said.

C OV ER S TO RY C O N T I N U ED 2 > “She didn’t leave anything hanging,” Farris said, still laughing at the thought.
as McClellan said the community knows it, so it can be used yearround in greater comfort.
When she created the funds, Hicks required the gifts for Forest Park and its Golf Course to be used toward permanent improvements. Farris said the governing board of the golf course was discussing how best to use the fund Hicks created. There are always challenges for upkeep, he said, and always thoughts for how to improve the course.
The fund will give them flexibility in their options to pay for the improvements, she added. Aside from her fondness for Forest Park, Hicks’ education sparked her interest in giving others the opportunity to learn. That interest helped create a scholarship for use by a Northview High School graduate to pursue a college education.
“It’s a blessing,” Farris said. “It really is.” Janet McClellan, President of the City of Brazil Parks and Recreation Board, echoed that sentiment. “It means a great deal to the superintendent, to the Board and to the community,” she said. After conducting a series of zoom and open meetings to get public input, McClellan said the Board is working to develop a five-year plan for the community parks. The fund Hicks created for Forest Park will provide them with resources to expand those plans. Their first goal, a splash pad, is already in the works, but they have other aspirations: a trail that would expand the walking track already in Forest Park, and possibly enclosing the pavilion, the “cow palace”
Ann’s parents, Cyril W. and Mary H. Hicks
“It opens up doors and opportunities they may never have thought possible,” said Deb Zimmerman, Assistant Principal at Northview. It may mean moving on to a college education when that may have not been an option, or opening the door to their “dream college.” For Northview and high schools like it, Zimmerman said these scholarships represent a team effort between the donor, the Community Foundation, the school and the student working together to foster and encourage learning. Hicks’ strong opinions found a good match at the Community Foundation, which allows donors wide latitude for making donations and how they are to be used. “Individuals are able to customize a charitable endowment fund to fulfill their personal charitable desires. We work with each person to help them identify what charitable purposes are important to them,” said Beth Tevlin, President & CEO of the Community Foundation. “Ms. Hicks is the perfect example. She created three separate funds to support the things she believed were important.” Yes, Mary Ann Hicks loved to travel; through all that, however, her charity and her heart remained home. She loved where she lived and chose to give where she lived.

If you are 72 or older and have not yet taken your required minimum distribution, consider using it to support one or more funds in the Community Foundation.
you’ll gain the equivalent of a dollar-for-dollar charitable contribution deduction on this year’s tax return.
Qualified charitable distributions allow donors to
avoid paying income taxes on the distributions while supporting deserving causes through funds in the Community Foudation.
These tax-free distributions can be large or small – from $10 to $100,000.
Gifts of IRA assets are especially advantageous for seniors who can no longer itemize their charitable contributions under the current tax law.
