Obituary For Mr. Wilson Pickett

Mr. Wilson “Sonny” Pickett, Jr. made his transition from this earthly life on Thursday, December 23, 2021, at Wake Forest Baptist Health. He was born in High Point, NC on November 2, 1934, to the late Wilson “Daddy Luke” Pickett, Sr., and Lucille McFadden.

Wilson attended the public schools of Guilford County and William Penn High School. He worked in the manufacturing industry and retired from Jiffy Manufacturing. Now…Sonny: He was a street-smart entrepreneur, had a green thumb when it came to gardening, was a “soul food” chef, was a traveler, and was a beloved friend. He possessed a wonderful sense of humor, old-school wisdom and refused to leave a tip.

Survived to cherish precious memories are five sons: Wilson Pickett, III, Roger L. Pickett, Michael E. Pickett, Tracy E. Pickett, and Avery D. Pickett; two daughters, Katina L. Ferguson, and Sheena C. Pickett. He is also survived by a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and one sibling, Sandra Y. Pickett.

Funeral service will be held Thursday, December 30, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. at Phillips Funeral Service Chapel. Interment will follow at Carolina Biblical Gardens. The family will receive friends at the chapel from 10:30 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.

Final arrangements are entrusted to Phillips Funeral Service, Inc.
