Marlene Dominguez-Hicks Memorial

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6

Beloved Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, Friend and Physician, Dr. Marlene Perez Dominguez (Hicks) a native of San Pablo, California, died unexpectedly at the age of 33 in Houston, Texas due to pregnancy complications.

Her baby boy, Alexander Jerome Hicks Jr. entered into rest the following day. She is survived by her loving husband, Alexander J. Hicks; daughters, Alyssa and Alana Hicks; parents, Cristobal and Victorina Dominguez; brother Maurice (Claudia) Dominguez and numerous uncles, aunties, cousins, friends and colleagues.

Dr. Dominguez was a graduate of St. Mary's College High School, Stanford University, Meharry Medical College School of Medicine and Grand Rapids Medical Education Partners (in association with Michigan State University College of Human Medicine).

The Meharry Class of 2011 has started this gofundme page (with approval of Marlene’s husband) to help provide some financial relief to the family she leaves behind. It is our goal to raise funds for the immediate and long term needs of her family.

Marlene touched the hearts of all who knew her with her positivity and kindness. She will forever be missed. We all have the opportunity to show her children what a blessing she was to all of us by blessing them.

Thank you for your generosity in these difficult times and for helping to support Marlene’s family.
