Jim Pickering Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A loving husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, and uncle, Jim is survived by his wife of 34 years, Barbara Lee (Bruder) Pickering; daughter, Kelly Purini (Dan); mother, Anna Lois (Stewart) Pickering; brother, Gary Pickering (Gwen); and grandsons, Caleb Purini and Joshua Purini.
He graduated from Northside High School and Georgia Southwestern with a degree in Business Administration. He spent the first half of his professional career in retail management and the latter half in health and life insurance sales. He enjoyed helping people in whatever manner he could. And with his knowledge and integrity people trusted the advice he gave.
Jim loved to travel and experience new cultures and places, both in the States and abroad, by land or by cruise ship. He enjoyed attending oldies concerts and listening to country music. Family vacations in Panama City Beach were always a highlight for him. All family gatherings were thoroughly enjoyed, no matter where they occurred. Many trips were made each year to "Camp Jeanne", his second home in Clearwater.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, April 27, 1:00 p.m. at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 5575 Peachtree Parkway, Peachtree Corners, Georgia 30092. A reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall. Visitation will be held on Friday, April 25, from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm in the Peachtree Corners Chapel of Crowell Brothers Funeral Homes & Crematory.
