Marian Jenkins Hicks Widner, 83, passed away Sunday, January 14, 2018. Born January 11, 1935, in Allendale, South Carolina, she was the youngest child (and one of The 10) of James Young Hicks and Alice Eulalie Wall Hicks. She grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, surrounded by the love of her nine siblings and their spouses and children. In 1954, she met and married a handsome sailor, George Henry Widner.
