Tina Hicks

February 15, 1950 - July 3, 2021

Cristina “Tina” Gauntt Hicks, loving wife, devoted mother and grandmother, and friend to many, passed away Saturday, July 3rd at the age of 71. Tina was born in Coral Gables, Florida to Henry LeHardy and Mary Doris Gauntt. Her virtues and talents were evident at a young age. As a youth swimmer, she set many high school, county, regional, and state swimming records. The daughter of a pilot, she earned her private pilot’s license by the age of 19. She nurtured her artistic talent at the Ringling School of Art & Design where she met her future husband and began her career in the fashion advertising field. Her passion and love of dogs lasted throughout her life and her membership with the Lawrenceville Kennel Club was a great source of pride. She trained her beloved Havanese pups, Bogie and Crash, together earning many accolades, including Grand Championship titles. Tina helped create, authored stories, and was the primary artist for “Our Havanese” Magazine. She was also a member of the Southeastern Pastel Society, competing and showing her work in area shows. Tina is survived by her loving husband of nearly 50 years, Dennis, sons Jason (wife, Megan) and Dustin (wife, Christina), two grandchildren, and many friends and extended family members who all loved her deeply. Tina passed peacefully at home with family by her side. Her beautiful life will be beautifully remembered in a memorial service on Sunday, July 11, 3pm at Tim Stewart Funeral Home in Lawrenceville. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, her family asks that memorial donations be made to the American Cancer Society.
