Nannie Jean Ricks was born May 7, 1947 to the late Frank Corum and Nannie Jean Lansdown, in Middleburg, VA.  Known by her friends as "Jean" and family as "Aunt Jeanie", she was the fourth oldest of eight children.  She quietly and peacefully departed while at home surrounded by family and friends, on Sunday, May 1, 2022.

Jean attended school in Loudon County, and later held employment for the majority of her working years, for the United States Postal Service, until her retirement.  She enjoyed baking, cooking, sewing, and spending quality time with her grandchildren. She used her passion of sewing and crocheting to help others and made lap blankets and hats for Chemo Grannies, supporting patients going through chemotherapy. Many of us will remember the delicious cakes and homemade rolls that she shared with all.

Jean and George were married in 1977 in Sterling, VA. Together they found pleasure in travelling and enjoying life and one another.

She accepted Christ at an early age and was a lifelong member of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Aldie, VA. Jean led the Senior Ministry and was a member of the Usher Board, where she also held office as the Treasurer.

She leaves to cherish her memory: her loving husband, George; 3 sons: Shawn, Alonzo, and Thomas; 4 grandsons: Alonzo Ricks Jr., Jovon Ricks, T.J. McDonald, Monte Windley; 4 granddaughters: Tawanda Windley, Danika Key, Bria Ricks, Myla Ricks; 7 great grandchildren; Her Only Living Aunt: Ethel Spriggs (95); Siblings: Joseph Corum, Anna Harris (Edward), Sylvia Lee (Arthur), Frank Corum, Jr. (Christine), Helen Washington (Shaffra) and she was preceded in death by Margaret Bailey and Mickey Gaines. She also leaves behind a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, and family friends.
