Wife of the late Kenneth Pickford. Loving and devoted mother to Carol Dunson (Eric), Michael McCullough, Ronald McCullough (Colleen), Donna Pickford (Dennis) and Kenneth Pickford (Sue).

She is survived by her brother James Peters as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Carol loved her family and adored all her children and grandchildren especially the craziness when everyone was together at parties and holidays. She was proud to be called Mom, Grandmom Bull and Triple G.

She was an avid reader, loved going to the movies to watch Tom Cruise and her crossword puzzles. Carol was a sports fan especially baseball and her Phillies. She would sit in her recliner with a small tv on the arm watching one game while another was on the big tv. She enjoyed her summer trips to Seaside Heights and Ocean City MD.

She loved listening to music especially Elvis and Engelbert Humperdinck while enjoying some of her favorite desserts especially cream doughnuts.

Relatives and friends are invited to celebrate Carol’s life at her viewing on Friday October 17th from 9 am to 11 am. Words of remembrance will begin at 11 am. Interment to follow in Sunset Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers the family asks you to make a donation to your favorite charity.

We would love if everyone would wear their favorite Phillies attire at her celebration of life.
