The family of 33-year-old Amber Hickson continues to remember and honor her legacy of helping others. Hickson died in December of 2022 in a car crash on Olanta Highway in Florence County. She worked as an EMT in Florence County. Roberta Reynolds, Amber’s mother, along with the help of Hicksonโs young son, have placed a blessing box along the road where she lost her life in the crash. The box has a picture of Hickson on it and is filled with goodies to help those in need. “Amber had a giving heart, she loved helping others, one reason she became an EMT, she loved this community that she grew up in. I thought this would be a good way to honor her by giving back to the community she loved. If you need a blessing take a blessing, if you have a blessing give a blessing,” said Reynolds. “In loving memory of EMT Amber Hickson!! Itโs been almost 29 months and it still feels like a nightmare.” Hicksonโs friends and husband describe her as a wonderful and caring person who gave her heart and soul to help others.
