Frederick Lickfold Obituary
Roswell,GA - Frederick Richard Lickfold III (81) beloved father and husband to Susan Lickfold passed away peacefully Sunday night March 4th surrounded by his four children and loving wife of 51 years.
Fred was born in Grenada Mississippi in 1936 and attended Mississippi State University earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He began a distinguished 26-year career in the US Navy in 1959 rising to the rank of Captain. His Naval career included two combat deployments in Vietnam flying P-3 Orion aircraft and three command tours.
Fred is survived by his wife Susan, his children Linda Leigh, Rich, Charlie, and Leslie as well as nine grandchildren. He is also lovingly remembered by his sister Mary Sharp Rayner and numerous relatives and friends.
The family would like to express sincere gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from those who remember Fred fondly, especially from the parishioners and clergy of St. David's Episcopal Church of Roswell, GA where he and Susan have been members for several years.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 24th at 11:00 AM at St. David's, 1015 Old Roswell Road, Roswell GA 30076. Reverend Anne Elizabeth will officiate. Fred's ashes will be interned at Barrancas National Cemetery on Naval Air Station Pensacola at a later date.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Wounded Warriors Project or any military veterans' charity of your choice.

We were sorry to hear of Fred's passing. Our memory is of one very much alive and in good health. He certainly lived a full and Noble life. When we met him in England he was concerned that he might not have grandchildren. So glad he was blessed with 9 of them to love. We will miss his interesting and humorous Christmas letters. May you find comfort in God and in the many great memories. Love, Jerry and Mary Lickfold Brownell (Fred's 3rd cousin)

I was shocked to read Freddy's obituary in yesterday's AJC. We had been classmates at John Rundle HS in Grenada, MS in the mid-50s, but I had lost track of him when he went to MS State and I to Ole Miss. With sincere sympathy I send thoughts and prayers to his wife, Susan, and his family.

/To my dear friend Susan, and to Susan and Fred's wonderful children and grandchildren: Your Dad's honored military service is only exceeded by his most honorable role of Father and Grand-Dad. You all exemplify why he was always so proud of all of you. Love, Gerrie Brown Frohne, lifetime BFF of Susan.
