Phyllis Carol Dickinson

Phyllis Carol (Barton) Dickinson of Mason, MI passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her children, on 10-26-2024. Phyllis was born on April 30th, 1944 to Lawrence and Marie Barton in Mason, MI. She married Don Dickinson, June 24th, 1972, and had three children, Eppy, Jen, and Aaron.

Phyllis was a loving wife and mother, devoted to family. While she and Don loved antiquing and running an antique business for years, her true focus was always family. After leaving GM as an accountant when they started their family, Phyllis gave her love, focus, intelligence, and passion to being an amazing mom and homemaker. Her legacy is not only three children, three grandchildren and a great granddaughter, but of love, home-cooked meals, joyful flowerbeds, and the unshakable bonds of family.

Phyllis was predeceased by parents Lawrence and Marie Barton, and sister Nancy (Jim) Kwast. She is survived by her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-granddaughter.
