Dorothy "Dottie" Louise Dickinson

Dorothy Louise Stonestreet Dickinson passed peacefully, January 14, 2021, at the home of her son, Douglas Dickinson, Indianapolis, Indiana. Dottie was born April 12, 1932 in Louisville, Ky to Hubert A. Stonestreet and Eleanor (Young) Stonestreet. Dottie graduated from Atherton High School for girls in Louisville, Ky and went on to attend Butler University in Indianapolis. While at Butler, Dottie was a member of the Delta Gamma Sorority. She met her late husband Robert (Bob) Dickinson when she was 14 years old at The Kentucky Military Institute school dance. They remained friends until college when Bob pursued her and won her heart. Bob was the love of her life as they were married for 60 years. They raised three children in Indianapolis and were blessed with 10 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. Dottie was very active in the Boys Club Auxiliary, Stansfield Circle and Antiquarian Club. She and her friend, Carol Brown, turned their love of antiques into Dickinson-Brown Antiques. But Dottie’s greatest joy in life was spending time and making memories with her husband, children and grandchildren at Lake Wawasee and Siesta Key Florida. She is survived by a daughter, Cheryl (Tom) Sagehorn, of Barrington, Ill., sons, David Dickinson and Doug (Karen) Dickinson of Indianapolis.
