Robert Lee Pickens Sr. U.S. Army Veteran

Robert Lee “Bob” Pickens Sr., 70, Warsaw, passed away Sunday, July 9, 2023, at Stillwater Hospice in Fort Wayne after a long battle with dementia.

Bob worked at LSC for 44 years as a hoistman. He was a hardworking husband and father that would put in 12-hour shifts/seven days a week for months straight. He retired from LSC in 2017. He enjoyed manicuring his five-acre property and reading.

He is survived by his wife, Donna Pickens; a son, Robert Pickens Jr., Warsaw; a daughter, Robin Pickens, Warsaw; a sister, Nancy (Chuck) Anderson of Mason, W.Va.; two brothers, Roger (Norma) Pickens of Point Pleasant, W.Va., and James Pickens of Pomeroy, Ohio; four grandchildren, Shelby Pickens, Alec Pickens, Kiersten Gagnon and Allie Pickens; and four great-grandchildren, Bentley, Carter, Devora and Anakin.
