She was baptized as a Methodist by her husband after their marital union. 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. She was a member of the daughters of Universal Order of Eastern Stars.
She is fondly loved and sadly missed by her daughter, Mrs. Vera Barber, Los Angeles, California, her devoted sisters: Mrs. Amelia Turner and Mrs. Laura Turner, Baton Rouge, granddaughters, Mrs. Eivera Bennett, Columbus, Ohio; Mrs. Julia Mae Alien, Los Angeles; grandson, Daniel Samuels Jr., Greensboro, North Carolina, nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.
