Laurice Pickens Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 19, 2017.

Laurice C. Pickens, born July 7, 1919 in Tucker, Georgia, passed away Wednesday, May 17, 2017. She resided in Tucker most of her life until relocating to Florida six years ago. A devout Christian, she was a member of First Baptist Church of Tucker and attended Lakeshore Baptist Church while living in Jacksonville.

Laurice was preceded in death by her husband of 49 years, Ben Pickens; her twin sister, Doris; and her brother, Neil. She will be greatly missed by her daughters, Carol, Cindy (Walt), and Kalen (Mike); her six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews and loving friends.

The family will receive visitors at 9:30 AM, Monday, May 22, 2017 in the chapel of Floral Hills Funeral Home, 3150 Lawrenceville Highway, Tucker, Georgia. Funeral Services will commence at 11:00 AM followed by interment at Floral Hills Memorial Gardens.

Carol, Cindy, and Kalen- I am saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. I have fond memories of visiting her and Aunt Doris as a child. I'm especially appreciative of her constant help and presence at the hospital when Mom was sick. I will always cherish that 10 minute call last February when I called her to let her know of Dads passing. She talked and I just listened. I won't be able to attend the service, but will be thinking of you. Love the pics you posted here! My condolences. -David

Dear Carol, Cindy, Kalen and families, we are so sad to hear about Laurice. She was loved so much by all of us. She, Doris and Margie shared many happy times together and us too. We still miss them not being on Crestcliff Drive.
Much love, Buddy, Marsha, Chris and Family
