Mary Dickerson

Mary was a sweet, loving woman whose life was defined by hard work, selflessness, and an unwavering devotion to those she loved.

For many years, she worked as a dedicated waitress at the Holiday Inn, where she was known for her warm smile, strong work ethic, and genuine care for others. She took pride in her work and treated everyone she met like family, leaving a lasting impression on coworkers and guests alike.

Above all, she was a devoted homemaker and caregiver. In her later years, she lovingly took on the role of caretaker for her family and her mother, always putting the needs of others before her own. Caring for those she loved was not just something she did—it was who she was.

Her home was a place of comfort, love, and stability. She had a gentle spirit, a kind heart, and a quiet strength that held her family together through every season of life. Her love was steady, unconditional, and deeply felt by all who knew her.

She leaves behind a legacy of love and service that will live on through her children, grandchildren, and generations to come. Though she will be deeply missed, her memory will forever remain in the hearts of those she touched.

She is preceded by her husband, Oliver L. Dickerson and daughter, Theresa E. Mullen, son-inlaw Dave King and Cousin Paul Howe.
