Mary Lou Pickett

Mary Lou Pickett, 84, Westfield (and Bakers Corner) was taken home to be with the Saints in Glory on Saturday, October 6, 2018, while in the care of St. Vincent Hospice. She was born January 1, 1934, second of 14 children, to Claude and Gladys (Honeus) Burtron in Clinton County.

Mary Lou was a 1952 graduate of Sheridan High School. She was a homemaker on the family farm for over 50 years. Mary Lou was a respecter of all persons and a cherished wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, mamaw, neighbor and friend to so many she held dear. Mary Lou never knew a stranger and loved keeping connected through visits, telephone calls, and her iPad. She participated in the warm and loving congregation of Radiant Life Christian Church in Westfield.

Mary Lou is survived by her son, Robert Pickett; daughter, Lou Anne (Doug) Green; grandchildren, Christopher (Wrianna) Robbins, Joshua Robbins and Casey Green; sisters, Phyllis Litteral, Carolyn (Clifford) Biddle, Charlene Haughey, Isabelle (Wesley) Cumins, Sandra Spencer, Janet (Randy) Wallace and Tina (Ken) Heffelmire; brothers, Claude (Elizabeth) Burtron, Carl (Elaine) Burtron, and Rick (Jean Ann) Burtron; and two great-grandchildren, Saya Robbins and Colton Robbins.
