After graduating from Sumner High School and Harris-Stowe State College, she began her 43 year career as an educator in the St. Louis Public School System, retiring from Mallinckrodt Elementary School in 2003. As a role model for higher education to her students, she pursued post graduate studies and received a master’s degree from Webster University. She was an active member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority (AKA) and enjoyed the status of Golden Soror after over 50 years of dedicated service to her community. She was a person of great faith and spirituality with her most recent worship years at St. Rose Philippine Duchesne Catholic Church. She was the beloved wife of John Dickerson, loving mother to Kimberly Matterson and Erika Jones, doting grandmother of Jasmine and Brandon Matterson, and Nina, Bella, and Sasha Jones, elder sister of Leon Anderson, Lillie Hayes, Joseph Anderson, Sr. (deceased), Chezia Thompson-Strand, Bertha Darkwah, James Thompson, Jr, and Claudine Thompson, and dear aunt, cousin, and friend to many.
