Felicia Hanks

Forever In Our Hearts

July 27, 1962, a Queen was born in Kansas City, MO to the union of Carl and Emma Ersery. The bundle of joy became the eighth blessing of ten for the couple.

She was raised in the heart of Kansas City, MO, amongst family and friends. She graduated from Northeast High School and attended Penn Valley Community College. She started her career at Nightriders/Ikon as a Legal Document Specialist for 15 years and later retired from Pitney Bows Law Firm the beginning of 2021. She took pride in her career and was loved by her close coworkers and friends.

Felicia also known as “Money” or “Fe” was kind hearted, loving, giving, and exciting to be around. Every family function she’d snapped pictures of loved ones, off guards mostly, and share to social media. She was like a calendar, remembering special days and honoring those with gifts. Her heart was pure, selfless, and always thought of others. A few relaxing spots she loved was the casino, the beach, shopping, and watching the Chiefs and Royals!

She accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior

In the late 80’s she was blessed with a daughter, then began a relationship with the love of her life, Tracey. They combined their family of three and later were blessed with their handsome son. On June 3, 2000 they married. Felicia accomplished supporting her children as they attended college.

She departed this life on, October 28, 2021. She was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Emma Ersery; brothers, Eric Ersery, Vincent Williams, Jon Ersery, and Morris Williams; sister, Jennifer Ersery; and grandchildren, Sir Jeremiah Smith, and Desmond Standifer, Jr.

She leaves to cherish her memories to her husband, Tracey Hanks; children, Calecia Coody (Darnell), Damarius Hanks, Antonio Hanks, Delisha Smith (all of KC), and Melena Smith of (Spring Hill, Tennessee); her siblings, Shelton Williams (Darlene), of (Oceanside, CA), Don Ersery, Rhonda Holmes, and Lyndan Ersery (Stacey) (all of KC); a host of grandchildren, nephews, nieces, great nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.
