Robert Lynn Pickell, 80, and Frances Jean Helton Pickell, 79, of Tipton, Indiana, were reunited in heaven when Bob passed away peacefully on March 23rd, 2025. Frances passed away peacefully only five months earlier on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.

Their love story was one for the ages-Bob, from Lenoir City, Tennessee, and Frances, from Benham, Kentucky, eloped in Georgia just two months after meeting and built a life together in Elwood, Indiana, where they raised their family before settling in Tipton.

They are survived by their three sons: Wayne Pickell of Atlanta, GA, Don Pickell of Rossville, IN, and Dan and Melissa Pickell of Frankfort, IN; daughter-in-law Amy Nguyen of Atlanta, GA; grandchildren Katelynn Pickell, Kaylee Pickell, Chloe Pickell, and Peyton Pickell; along with other extended family.

A celebration of their lives will be held on Saturday, September 6th at 11am in the Pickell family cemetery, Woodlawn Cemetery, in Lenoir City, Tennessee. Click Funeral Home is handling arrangements.

"Met on a blind date, knew each other two months, got married, and shared 60 wonderful years together. Hand in hand forever."
