Lester D. Pickle
Amory – Lester D. Pickle, 73, passed away on Wednesday, July 1, 2015, at Merit Health Gilmore Memorial Hospital. Born on February 4, 1942, in Monroe County, he was a son of the late Vertis and Alice Carter Pickle.
Lester was a graduate of Hatley High School, Class of 1960. On August 5, 1960, he married his high school sweetheart, Linda Parham. He worked as a supervisor in the cutting room and in the computer room drafting pants designs for Amory Garment, retiring in 2004. He was a member of Christian Chapel Church of Christ. Possessing an amazing love for his family, Lester’s grandchildren gave him the most enjoyment. Funny and quick-witted, he enjoyed playing golf, working in his yard, sitting on his deck, and watching Fox News. Lester loved grilling for his children and grandchildren and in his earlier years, enjoyed playing tennis with his girls. Passionate about anything and everything to do with the Manning family, he enjoyed following them and watching them play football.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Mable Pickle, and a brother, Hester Pickle.
