Please keep the Pickett Family in your prayers:

Arnola Jean Boyer Pickett
February 10, 1935 – August 17, 2026

Our Mother, Nani, Great Nani and Aunt Jeanie went to heaven peacefully on August 17, 2026 to join her husband, Richard Pickett.

Born as Arnola Jean Fosnight to Reva Fosnight. After her mother and grandmother’s passing, she was lovingly adopted by Willie and Carrie (Purdy) Boyer. Arnola was a life long resident of Sheridan and attended Sheridan High School where she participated in many class activities. She served as class vice-president, played in the orchestra and band, was a member of several service clubs and cheered for four years for the dear old SHS. Arnola was a member of the local Job’s Daughter’s and moved through the ranks to serve as their Honored Queen.

After graduation in 1953, Arnola worked at Indiana Bell in downtown Indianapolis. While there she met her future sister-in-law, Donna Eccles. When Richard Pickett was discharged from service with the US Coast Guard, he courted and dated Arnola and they were wed at the Sheridan First United Methodist Church on November 21, 1954.

Arnola and Richard settled in a small house on 8th Street in Sheridan and lived in one of two homes along that quaint street for the rest of their lives.

Arnola, or Jeanie to her husband and family, loved to cook, clean, shop and travel. She and her husband (often with other family members) visited Alaska, Hawaii, Las Vegas (several times), the Caribbean, Mexico and most of the US States.

Sheridan First United Methodist church was her home church as a child as well as with her growing family. She was a member of the Kionia Circle. As a founding member of the Sheridan chapter of Phi Beta Psi service sorority, she served her community for over 50 years.

After caring for her ailing parents, Arnola wanted to become a nurse. While most women start to settle in at age 49, she attended J. Everett Light Career Center and graduated as a Licensed Practical Nurse in 1984. She worked at the local doctor’s office and our community nursing home for many years.

Richard and Arnola owned and operated Pickett’s Whirlpool Appliances in Sheridan. Arnola answered the phones, relayed messages, kept the books, coordinated the service calls and deliveries and often diagnosed a faulty appliance over the phone so parts could be ordered. On many occasions, she drove the truck to supply houses to pick up loads of refrigerators, freezers, washers and dryers to restock their inventory.

All in all, they were life time partners. Richard and Arnola spent their last days at Wellbrooke of Westfield. If you were lucky, you could catch them going down the hallway to the dining hall, each in their wheelchair, holding hands.

Arnola Pickett is survived by:

4 Children: Kathy (Greg) Bray of Sheridan, IN, Karen (Randy) Pence of Noblesville, IN, Keith (Mary) Pickett of Sheridan, IN and Kevin (Dan) Pickett of Forney, TX

Please keep the Harris Family in your prayers:

Paul Ray Harris
November 26, 1969 – August 3, 2026

Paul Ray Harris, age 56, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on November 26, 1969, in Harlan, KY, Paul lived a life built on hard work, deep devotion to his family, and an undeniably genuine heart.

A framer by trade, Paul didn't just do his job—he truly loved it. He took immense pride in his craft, leaving a piece of his strong work ethic behind in every structure he built.

Outside of work, Paul was happiest with dirt on his tires and music in the air. Whether he was playing his guitar, going to the racetrack, riding four-wheelers, or gathering around a campfire under the stars, he embraced life with an easygoing, authentic spirit. He wasn't one to sit in front of the TV often, unless NASCAR was on, Peyton Manning was playing football, or Caitlin Clark was taking the court for the Indiana Fever.

Above all else, Paul’s greatest passion was his family. Being a father and a Papaw was his absolute greatest joy in life. He was the most genuine person you could ever meet—wholehearted, humble, and always there when his family needed him.

Paul is survived by his loving parents, Tommy and Jenny Harris of Harlan, KY; his three children, Patrick (Heather) Harris, Krystal (Kyle) Matthews, Chandler Harris, and his dog Manning; his beloved grandchildren, Lexi-Ray Jeanette Harris, Jayce Ray Matthews, Jayden Ray Matthews, and Jaxson Ray Harris, all of whom brought endless light to his life; and his dear siblings, Bill Harris, Tuck Harris, Ruby Stewart, and Sheila Combs.

He was reunited in death with his brother, Dwayne "Pooh Bear" Harris, as well as his two precious grandchildren, Serenity Rayne Harris and Patrick Ray Harris Jr., all of whom he held so dearly in his heart.

Paul will be remembered for his unwavering strength, his kind heart, and the steady warmth he brought to everyone who knew him.

Family and friends are invited to honor Paul at his celebration of life on Sunday August 30th, 2026, at 2pm at the Adams Township Community building located at 111 E 296th St, Atlanta, IN 46031.

Everyone is invited to sign the online guestbook, leave a condolence, or share a memory at fisherfamilyfunerals.com. Fisher Family Funeral services is honored to serve the Harris Family.
