Carol Pickett Obituary

Carol I woke up today with you on my mind. I spoke with you several years ago and then lost your phone number. I can't believe you are gone. You were so full of life. Thank-you for letting me sing your songs. Looking Back At Life and so many others songs that were beautiful. I still have a binder with your songs in it. I missed you when you moved away and I miss you now. You were never far from my heart.

Can't believe it's been two years. Love you and miss you. Remember you always.
Love Susan

Dear Carol,
It is hard to lose a sister. I will miss you always. I love you.
Joyce Pickett

Carol,
It's been two years since you left us and I still think of you often and miss you very much.

From the time you taught me to dance in my crib you were important to me. Its hard to believe you have been gone a year. We miss you everyday, but know you are in a better place. I love you, Susan

Can't believe it's been a year already since it feels like you were just here yesterday. Every time I water my flowers and plants I think of you and smile in my heart. Miss you and Love you, Mom

My Carol, It's been a year since you have gone. I miss you so much and love you even more.

John

Can't believe it has been a year already:(
Miss you!

Dear Carol,
You are always in my thoughts. I miss you so much. Love you.
Your sister

Carol Louis Johnson Pickett was amazing, funny, witty and wise and one tough lady. She owned a Flower Shop "Westwind Flowers" at one time and was very knowledgeable in all things flowers and house plants but was so humble about it only wanting to help brighten the world around her. She was also an exceptional and published songwriter, Her talents were many. She was a true badass and in her day and for as long as she could possibly be. Not many wanted to go up against her but if they did, she was fair but a straight shooter! She commanded respect and deserved it. She was constantly on the go and could not be kept down for long often exuding a child-like wonder few possess.

She raised two wonderful boys who turned into wonderful men who contributed to society in a way that she and their father, Ray could be proud of. Her youngest son Larry, left Earth before her so we're betting that there is a beautiful reunion going on with him as well as many others she suffered the loss of and held near and dear to her heart all of her days.

There were two great loves in her life. Her sons John and Larry's father, Ray, and her Precious John later in life. She loved them deeply and her loyalty and respect were evident. She adored them both. She also aired and dearly loved her granddaughter, Sara, and was not only extremely proud of her but forever singing her praises. If you were paying attention then you could see that people were better for having known her. If you were lucky enough to be loved by her, know that you were loved FIERCELY.

She once said that her greatest fear was to not be able to get up and be productive and she definitely pushed that to the nth degree on that one! But Father Time had other plans and took away her physical ability to keep moving. She never stopped fighting as was her way when life got rough. We are so grateful she's no longer in pain, she had already been through so much. Though our tears flow (after all death is selfish for the living because we're really crying for ourselves) we're relieved for her. Now she has moved on to what surely must be a beautiful place for beautiful people like her.

We seriously doubt anyone could do her true justice in describing with mere words the exceptional person she was but it brought back many treasured memories while we tried. We will miss her SO MUCH but looking forward to seeing her again.

We love you, deeply and eternally. Rest well now, dear Carol, Mom, Grandma, Wife Friend and so much more, you deserve it.

For My Carol

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new,
I thought of you yesterday and many days before that too,
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and pictures in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake from which I will never part
God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.

To Those I Love

We've shared so many things down through the years
Don't wash away those memories with tears
Be glad you have them, keep them in your heart
For if you do we'll never be apart.
I'm only one small thought away from you
And this is what I'd like for you to do.
Please let those thoughts of me bring you a smile
We'll only be apart a little while.
It's alright to miss me, I'll miss you,
Don't ever let that keep you from the things you dream to do
When you watch a sunset or see a shooting star,
Know that I am with you, watching from afar.
Treasure time that we have had and don't regret a thing
Let the love between us make your sad heart sing
We will be apart a while, until some unknown day
Please keep me always in your heart, I'm just a thought away.

To remember my sister, Carol, and never forget her. I will miss her always. I lost a good friend and sister. Love you.
Joyce Pickett
