December 6, 1934 - November 11, 2019

Pompton Plains- Greta D. Pickering, age 84, passed away on Monday, November 11, 2019 at Mountain View Gardens in Cedar Crest Village. Born in Barbados to the late Cyril and Eva (Cave) Rock, Mrs. Pickering came to the United States in 1963. She had been the office manager for Omega Graphics in Wayne before her retirement. She was a caring and gentle soul with a genuine smile that was warm and contagious. Mrs. Pickering was an amazing artist and would paint a masterpiece every year and have it printed as Christmas cards and sent to family and friends. Many of her family and friends anxiously awaited her yearly card and would cherish it gently and keep it safe from damage. Most of them have been framed and adorn the walls of those lucky enough to receive such an intricate and lovely gift. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, John and her sister, Jean. Mrs. Pickering is survived by her three sisters, Barbara Creamer of Loveland, Ohio, Brenda Streeter of Barbados, and Anne Biggs of Canada. The family would like to acknowledge a close family friend, Brian Madigan for his dedication to caring for Greta after her husband, John’s death. Private cremation services have been entrusted to the Pinkel Funeral Home, 31 Bank Street (Route 23), Sussex. A memorial service will be held in the near future.
