(Died: 2025)
Nancy Gail Dickerson was born in Florence, Alabama and spent her entire life in the Greenhill community in Lauderdale County. After 20 years, she retired from the Lauderdale County Extension program where she shared her love of cooking by teaching food and nutrition classes to expectant moms.
She loved her “4-H kids” as she volunteered, traveled with and assisted many children in their formative years through various 4-H programs.
Aside from working with the family cattle business and her full-time jobs, Nancy somehow found time to volunteer for many other roles within the community. She was devoted and hands on mom with all of the kids’ school, athletic and extracurricular activities.
Serving as President of the Lauderdale County Cattlewomen’s Association, Nancy was an advocate for the beef industry and supporting local farmers. She was elected to serve as the President of the State Cattlewomen’s Association and attended meetings across the state to share and promote the beef industry.
She also served as President of the ALFA Women’s Committee and President of the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
In recognition of her years of service, the name of Nancy G. Dickerson is inscribed on the dedicatory plaque of the Extension Memorial Chapel.
Chapel Plaque Inscription Number 684
