I was actually just last week telling Stuart’s partner about how talented your mum was. I was explaining to Rachel about how skilled she was.
I remember being amazed at her taking the cover off a Jason recliner and remaking a new cover. She also remade so many outfits from larger garments.
She was very talented and always so welcoming and cheerful.Farewell dear “Aunty Joy” from the “Pickett kids”; Matthew, Simon, Lucinda and Yolande. Kind and warm-hearted, big smiles and laughter, life-long family friend. You will be greatly missed, as are Jim & Doug.
Lots of love,
May 20, 2026I’m so sorry I am unable to attend Joy’s funeral today. Our families have spent many happy hours together over the years. Life is short but Joy made good use of her time on earth. Well done! Love to Heather, Julie & families and Becky.
