Mrs. Bickley was born April 17, 1937 in South Congaree, South Carolina to Reverend Charles and Martha Shumpert Adkins. She met her husband, Everette R. Bickley in 1970 and together they had a blended family of nine children. They were also blessed with 20 grandchildren, 31 great grandchildren and 7 great great grandchildren. She is predeceased by her husband, Everette, and daughters, Patty, Regina, and Sheri. She is survived by her children, Rebecca Herlong, Ray (Susan) Bickley, Debbie Mackenzie, Lisa (David) Drawdy, Cyndee Bailey and Wendy (Bill) Hall.
Mrs. Bickley was always known for quick wit and at times a sharp tongue, which always brought laughter to most. Her humor and wit will be dearly missed by her family and friends. She had a love for the Lord, always ready to pray and would invite anyone to join her in church.
She attended Mount Pleasant Baptist Church most of her adult life and was in the Women’s Ministry choir. She loved gospel music and had an extensive collection. She enjoyed singing and listening to them daily with her daughter, Lisa.
Services will be held Saturday, January 23, 2021 at Caughman-Harman Funeral Home, Lexington Chapel. The family will receive visitation from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. Burial to follow at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church Cemetery, 310 Gator Road, Gaston, South Carolina. Reverend Mark Bredholt will officiate.
