11A Ann Blackwell Shaw Hickerson, age 86, a beloved mother and grandmother, died Sunday afternoon, November 9, 2014 following a stroke the previous week. A native of Nashville, she was the daughter of the late James Leonard and Lillian Blackwell Shaw. On April 17, 1948, she married Earnest Henry Hickerson, and they celebrated their 65th anniversary before he died in September, 2013. For more than 52 years, the Hickersons lived on Wilmar Drive in the Crieve Hall area, and in 2011 they moved to the assisted living community at Brighton Gardens of Brentwood. Mrs.
Hickerson had been a very active member of the former Waverly Place United Methodist Church until that congregation founded Forest Hills United Methodist Church in Brentwood. She served on the building committee that designed Forest Hills, and she played a major leadership role in the craft bazaars held by the church women to help inance the new facility. At her church, she had been president of the United Methodist Women and a frequent circle chairman. For the past two years, she had attended services with her son at South End United Methodist Church. She was the emotional rock for her close knit family, inspiring her children and grandchildren to love, support and respect one another, and others as well.
Family was her most important priority, and she loved nothing better than preparing a home-cooked meal for family gatherings. An exceptional cook, she was famous for baking a variety of delicious cookies. She saw the sharing of cookies as a wonderful way to share love and holiday spirit with family, friends and shut-in church members. Ann Hickerson was an extraordinary seamstress, sewing clothing and quilts for all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. For many years, she sewed commercially, specializing in formal wear, wedding dresses and attire for dozens of bridal parties.
Survivors include two daughters, Becky Hickerson Shojner and husband Bill of Burlington, North Carolina, and Sally Hickerson Queener and husband Kelley of Brentwood; one son, Earnest Henry Hickerson, Jr. and wife Diane of Nashville; seven grandchildren, Michael Shoffner, Jon Hickerson, Steven Shoffner, Sara Hickerson Hughes, Sean Queener, Casey Queener and Patrick Queener; and four great-grandchildren, Emma Hickerson, Aidan Shojner, Ethan Hickerson and Zoe Shoj ner. In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by her two sisters, Nancy Shaw Elam of Clarksville and Dorothy Shaw Gee of Nashville.
