The Rev. Dr. Oliver “Gene” E. Pickett died on July 19, 2020, at the age of 94. Gene was president of the UUA from 1979 to 1985.

Gene is survived by his three daughters: Anne, Martha, and Emily; his grandson Alan; and many close friends and loving relationships. He was preceded in death by his wife, Helen R. Pickett.

A virtual informal remembrance will be held in early August.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Unitarian Universalist Association. UURMaPA will contribute $50 to the UUMA Endowment Fund, in honor of our colleague’s ministry.

Notes of condolence can be sent to his daughter Martha at ghpickett2@gmail.com.

A more complete obituary will be forthcoming after research has been completed.
