Obituary of Viola Elnora Dickerson

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, 

neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former thing

s are passed away”.  Revelation 21:4

She loved to learn, gardening, and the latest fashions. She was always particular about her appearance.
