On April 5,1952 a Queen was born, Verdia Mae Dickerson, to the late Thermon and Georgia Mae Brock. On Friday March 6, 2026 at 10:20PM my mother succumbed to Cholangiocarcinoma, a Bile Duct Cancer. She was surrounded by love and serenity as she took her last breath.

At a very tender age she gave her life to Christ. She was a faithful member of Little Union Missionary Baptist Church. Throughout her life’s journey she worked in many fields. Bartending, housekeeping, babysitting and sitting with the elderly. Her greatest joy was cooking. She loved hosting and spending time with family. She fed our souls and warmed our hearts.
