Short of catching up on some rest, Patty Pickelsimer hasn’t decided what she’ll be doing in her retirement years.The Forsyth County Probate Court chief deputy clerk celebrated the end of her 23 years of service during a reception Friday with friends and family.“I have not carved anything into stone,” Pickelsimer said of her retirement plans. “I’m going to sleep late and then I’ll decide what I’m going to do.”Pickelsimer said she will miss her co-workers, Probate Court Judge Lynwood “Woody” Jordan and those who sought the court’s services.“We’ve got a wonderful group of people,” she said. “You can’t do something for 23 years and not miss it.”Jordan read aloud a resolution honoring Pickelsimer and her work for the court.
