ANTONETTE RENE MEYER

PICKENS — Antonette Rene Meyer, 56, of Pickens, went home to be with the Lord on Oct. 25, 2025, following her two-month fight against a late cancer diagnosis. We take comfort knowing she is now pain free and find peace knowing there are no goodbyes, only “we’ll see you later.”

She was preceded in death by her father, Anthony Meyer, and sister, Barbara Clardy, both of whom we know she is elated to be with again.

She is survived by her beloved children, Brittany Arms of Woodruff, Nicholas Pancoast of Pickens and Micheala Chavis of Greenville; her mother, Jane Meyer, and brother, Tony Meyer, both of Pickens; and her cherished grandchildren, whom she adored beyond measure, Camden Arms, Levi Pancoast, Kylee Arms, Ethan Mumma, Lexi Chavis, Blair Arms, Lucas Arms, Zoey Chavis, Kara Chavis and Bethany Pancoast. Her greatest joy in life came from her family — especially her grandchildren, who were truly the light of her world.

Antonette had a big, beautiful heart and an even bigger love for the Lord. Her warmth and love will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who was blessed to know her.

A celebration of life will be held at 12:30 p.m. Nov. 8 at River Hills Baptist Church, 5762 Reidville Road, Moore, SC 29369.

RICHARD HORACE WIMPEY

PICKENS — Richard Horace Wimpey, 63, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025, at Baptist Easley Hospital.

Born on Oct. 22, 1962, in Pickens County, Richard was the beloved son of the late Grady Wimpey and Francis Turner Wimpey.

A talented and hardworking man, he spent his life in construction, known for his keen eye and natural skill — he never needed a level because he could see perfection on his own. Richard would give you the shirt off his back without a second thought; his generosity and kindness were felt by everyone who knew him.

He enjoyed dirt track racing, attending car shows and spending time fishing. Some of his greatest joys were the memories made at Dacusville Farm Days with his son, daughter and grandson. Above all, Richard cherished his family. He was a devoted father and loved them deeply and unconditionally, especially his son, daughter-in-law, daughter and grandson. A proud Clemson Tigers fan, he cheered with passion and pride. He loved building props and floats for Matthew and Melissa’s mother, Lesa Cobb, and her dance studio.

There are simply not enough words to fully capture who Richard was — he was genuine, giving, loyal, hardworking and loved beyond measure.

Survivors include his son, Matthew Wimpey (Kaitlyn) of Liberty; daughter, Melissa Wimpey of Pickens; grandson, Leland Wimpey; siblings, Carolyn Simmons, Rickey Wimpey (Marie), Steve Wimpey (Vickie) and Kenneth Wimpey (Michelle); and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Richard was predeceased by two brothers, Ed Wimpey and Tommy Wimpey.

The family will host a memorial service at 11 a.m. Nov. 22 in the sanctuary of Elljean Baptist Church, 605 Elljean Road, Easley.

Visitation will begin an hour before the service at 10 a.m.

Flowers will be accepted.
