Janice Hickman Obituary

A social worker by trade, her work was her passion and it was evident to all that she enjoyed helping others. She loved her dogs who were always present in her life, and they were always by her side. She was a huge fan of LSU sports, mainly football, and she enjoyed cheering for the Tigers. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her son Dreux Mayeux and brother Donald Wilbanks. She is survived by her husband, John Hickman, son Lee Mayeux and his wife Stephanie of Baton Rouge, her grandchildren Margaux, Landry and Julia Mayeux, brother David Wilbanks and his wife Lynn, sister Jean Ann Wilbanks, and nieces and nephews.
