Nancy was born in Valley Mills, Texas, to the late Alonzo and Willie Light.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 56 years, Benjamin Franklin “Buck” Pickens, son, Steve Pickens, and a granddaughter, Kathie Jo Berger.
She is survived by her daughters, Brenda Berger (Charlie), Darlene Iglehart (Rick), Judy Pickens, and Penny Anderson (David); grandchildren Charlie Berger, Stevie Pickens, Windy Leal, Beau Archer, Misty Baughman, Carl Berger, Chantz Archer, Shannon Anderson, Dakota Clayton, and David Alex Anderson; 15 great grandchildren; and many other family members and friends.
Though she loved flowers, the family asks that donations instead be made to Interim Hospice, 2420 Wycon Drive, Waco, TX, 76712 or a charity of your choice.
