Mary was born in Jenkinjones, West Virginia on May 6, 1944 to the late Lonnie and Madeline Helmandollar. She spent most of her life in Alabama, where she married the late Louis Franklin Dickson III, on October 19, 1963.
Mary was deeply passionate for Jesus and her family, and her kind, gracious spirit will never be forgotten. She was a long time member of Myers Memorial Baptist Church and of Saraland Baptist Church, where she sang joyfully in the choir for many years.
Mary is survived by her 4 children: Louis Franklin “Buddy” Dickson IV and his wife Kelly, Angela Renee Dickson, David Ray Dickson, and Ann Sheree Dickson; her brother, Homer Helmandollar; her sister, Cathi Helmandollar Davis; 6 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her father and mother; her beloved husband, Louis; 2 brothers, Roger Dale Helmandollar and Richard Raymond Helmandollar; and 3 sisters, Helen Lonnie Webb, Delilah Vick Compton, and Patsy Deloris Hall.
Family and loved ones grieve the loss of Mary but find comfort and peace in the realization that she is no longer in pain, having been reunited with her heavenly family.
