Mrs. Pickard passed away on Saturday, June 20, 2015 surrounded by her family at the age of 92. She was born on December 2, 1922 in Philadelphia, MS; the daughter of Gordon and Ida McKay.

She made hundreds of "Cross in my pocket" and gave them lovingly to others. She was an active member of Mt. Olive Baptist Church. If the doors of the church were open, she was there, whether she felt good or not. She helped with Vacation Bible School through the age of 91. A special thanks to her caregivers; Anna Agent "Precious Agent (Baby)", Margie Watkin and Harpers Hospice.
