On October 18, 2011, Jessie Lee Dickerson passed away and returned home to Jesus. She was 88 years old. Jessie Lee was born on July 21, 1923 in Madill, Oklahoma. As a child, she worked on the family farm until she left home at the age of 16 to work in a cotton mill in McKinney, Texas. During WWII, she served her country as a Rosie the Riveter assembling aircraft wings for North American Aviation in Texas.
