Together they served churches all over Louisiana seeking to save souls for the Kingdom of Our Savior, Jesus Christ. Mrs. Dickson was known by everyone as a Christian woman. She loved and was loved by both the old and the young. All through her life her aim was to help mankind in whatever way she could. She was active in her church, community, and her home.
