Married to Henry "Bill" Dickson, they moved to Carteret County from their roots in Duplin County where she was a mother and homemaker. Mary was a member of First United Methodist Church for 65 years and a member of the Jackie Eure Sunday School Class. Mary became known as Grandma to all her family and many friends. Kids would line up to sit in her lap, get a hug, a kiss and an I love you from her. She loved spending time outside with her flowers and had some of the most beautiful azaleas in Morehead City at her home on Country Club Road. She enjoyed watching and listening to the birds and always had a knack for being able to attract hummingbirds to her feeders. She loved going to the produce stand and taking her many grandchildren and great grandchildren strawberry picking out at Willis Farm in the summer. Surrounded by her family, especially her grandkids and great grandkids, always brought her so much joy.
