Brenda Ann Pickett

Brenda Ann Pickett-Irby was born July 20, 1961 in Meridian, Mississippi. She went home to be with the Lord on May 18, 2018 in Columbus, Ohio.

Brenda worked with the Columbus City School district for over 20 years. Brenda was born in Mississippi and moved to Ohio after her first two children were born. Brenda was a natural provider. It came so easy to her and all who came in contact with her grew to love her. Brenda’s life was taken too soon but the impact she has made during her time on earth is something to remember.

Brenda is preceded in death by baby sister Deborah Pickett.

She leaves to cherish her memory with husband Willie Irby, three beautiful children Cedrick (Nikita), Ashley, and Whitney Pickett, all of Columbus, Ohio, mother Ethel Mae Pickett, sister Juanita Pickett of Columbus, OH., and brother Raymond Pickett of Mississippi, also a host of half brothers and sisters.

Brenda was a loving wife and an amazing mother not only to her children but to all who loved her including her niece Shanbrika Coney, nephew Danterrell and Cordero Pickett. She also leaves to cherish as what she says “her grandbabies” Alilea, Dathan, Ronmel, Cynthia, Na’kia, LaTaya, RickTaya, Ny’Laya, Levi, Ma’Kia, Chris Jr., and Elijah.

Brenda will be missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
