Eran Bartley Pickens (Mrs. Fred M. Pickens Jr.) died peacefully at her home in Newport, AR., on Friday, Oct. 26, 2007, just days after her 93rd birthday.
Born at Austin, Texas, to Judge and Mrs. Thomas M. Bartley, she and her family moved to Waco where she attended Waco Public Schools. After graduation from Baylor University, she worked in a variety of capacities at the Episcopal Church in Waco and at Elliot & Eubank, a brokerage house.
On April 12, 1947, she married the dashing young attorney Fred M. Pickens Jr., and moved to his hometown of Newport where they built a home on the edge of Remmel Park. The great joy of her life was their only daughter, Eran, "little E," whom she adored.
Mrs. Pickens became active in the life of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, teaching Sunday school, serving on the Vestry, presiding over the state Episcopal Churchwomen and chairing the Christmas Bazaar. The "sewing ladies" at the church became her longtime Tuesday commitment. She also served as a member of the board of the W.A. Billingsley Memorial Library.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Fred M. Pickens.
She is survived by her daughter, Eran Pickens West; son-in-law, Britton Reed West; four grandchildren, Walter Britton West and wife Fiona Louppe West, Martha Eran West, Thomas Pickens West and Elizabeth Bartley West; and her dedicated caregivers, Mary Ferrell, Patty Franton, Marie Hall, Sandra Blevins, Future Lawson, Jean Weaver Young and June Massey.
Services were in the St. Paul Episcopal Church with interment in Walnut Grove Cemetery. Arrangments were by: Dillinger Funeral Home Chapel.
