Mary Lou Pickett

Mary Lou Pickett of Springboro Ohio passed to the next adventure on November 9th 2023. She joins her husband of 69 years, Roy Pickett and granddaughter Valerie Rene, in heaven. She also joins her two sisters Betty and Nancy, many relatives, friends and her parents, Bryan and Lucy Henley.

She is survived by her three children, Dennis, Mike and Karen and furry baby, Whiskers. She is also survived by grandchildren, Kyle Pickett, Bradley Denny, Patrick Denny, Katie Ritter and Betsy Pickett.

Mary was a faithful christian recently attending South Dayton Church of Christ. She gave to numerous charities including the American Heart Association and Doctors without Borders.

Mary was born in Topeka, Kansas and worked for the Santa Fe Railroad as a Comptometer operator. She was a mother, preschool teacher, fudge maker and an avid gardener and book reader. She was an excellent cook known especially for her blueberry banana pie and chocolate chip cookies. She loved jigsaw puzzles, word games, and crossword puzzles. She played a mean game of dominos and often won. She played cards, ping pong, and bowled in a league in her younger years.

Her ashes will be placed next to Roy's in Heber Springs Arkansas where she lived for 20 years.

Many thanks to the staff and director of Stoney Ridge Assisted Living and the staff and nurses of Crossroads Hospice for their dedication and care in Mary's final year.
