Dorothy Ann Dickey, age 99, slipped away from this life to the next, Thursday, August 26, 2021, at her son’s home. Born in Hardy, Arkansas on February 4, 1922, she became a long time resident of Memphis where she graduated from Humes High in 1939. Trained at the Miller Hawkins Business School, she was a secretary for C.F. Work and Sons. She was a volunteer for the Memphis Union Mission and Child Evangelism. Three Presbyterian Churches were wells of living water throughout her life: Historic Chelsea Ave, Heritage and Independent. Proverbs 3:5-6 was her life verse. She lived with her son and family for the last nine years of her life where she loved the autumn colors of east Tennessee.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 72 years, Winston F. Dickey, parents, Vennie Arthur Baxter and Annie Rooney Batchelder Baxter, siblings: Louise Baxter Baker, twins Jack and Joseph Baxter, and Eugene Baxter. She leaves behind her son, Winston Dickey and his wife Connie of Luttrell, and grandson Martin Dickey of Newport News, Virginia. A host of nieces and nephews scattered across the U.S. fondly remember their Aunt Dorothy.
Funeral services will be held at Memorial Park in Memphis Tennessee late next week. Trinity Funeral Home, LLC, Maynardville, has the honor to serve the family of Dorothy Dickey. 865-992-5002 www.trinityfuneral.net
