Pastor Arthur Robert Lickey was born on April 11, 1921, to Seventh-day Adventist pastor Arthur Edwin Lickey and his wife Oda (Truitt). As a pastor's family, they moved often while Art was growing up. When he was 13, his mother died in Portland, Oregon. His father later remarried.
When Art was 16, he married 18-year-old Geraldine Rose in Clay, Missouri. He worked as an exterminator before becoming a pastor and evangelist. He was a Pastor in Missouri, Nebraska, Michigan, until moving to Portland, Oregon and pastoring the Stone Tower Seventh-day Adventist church.
During World War II, he served in the U.S. Navy.
Besides being a pastor, he served as a religious liberty representative for the Adventist church for many years.
His wife Geraldine died in 1987, and in 1992 Art married Helen Webster. They lived in Vancouver, Washington in their retirement years.
Arthur Lickey was an accomplished pianist. Even when he suffered from memory loss, he could still play hymns on the piano as well as ever. Art and Helen visited seniors at the local care center on a regular basis as long as they could.
Art is survived by his wife, Helen (Webster) Lickey; sons, Arthur E. and Ronald; daughter, Janet Swetnam; stepdaughters, Linda Ivy, Pam Gottfried and Sally Herigstad; brother, Harold; 11 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.
