Lucinda Coy Dickey passed away peacefully Feb. 26, 2010, in her home at the age of 88. She was born in Millville, Utah, on Nov. 1, 1921, the eighth of 10 children born to Charles C. and Hidvie Caroline Nielson Anderson.
She was raised in Millville and graduated from South Cache High. She met her eternal companion, Arnold Waldo Dickey, while she was attending USU and they were married in the Logan LDS Temple on May 23, 1945. She and Arnold raised nine children in a loving home and enjoyed countless family adventures and gatherings for their children and grandchildren. One of the greatest joys of her life was spending time with her family.
She was a member of the LDS Church and enjoyed serving in the church throughout her life. She served as Relief Society president and in other positions within the Relief Society and Young Women's organization, as well as Primary teacher and Ward Music chairman, and was a member of the ward choir all of her life. She also spent many years serving as a data entry typist in the Extraction program.
She served on the Millville-Nibley Cemetery board as clerk-treasurer and kept the cemetery records up to date. She served as an election judge for many years, as well, and belonged to the Millette Club, a ladies' social club in Millville.
She had been active in the Daughters of Utah Pioneers since the Lusannah G. Hovey Camp was organized, holding several offices. She especially enjoyed serving as president of Cache Far South Company, where she met and learned to love so many of the daughters.
She loved the outdoors and spent many hours gardening and nurturing her flowers. She and Arnold taught their children to be grateful for the beauty of nature.
She is survived by five sons and four daughters, David (Lynnette) Dickey of Millville, Robert (Brenda) Dickey of Providence, Blaine (Judy) Dickey of Millville, Carol (Melvin) Beutler of Weston, Sherry (Larry) Lowery of Avon, Mark (Rachelle) Dickey of Sandy, Kay (Martha) Dickey of Midvale, Sheila (Tony) Olenichak of Idaho Falls, and Janet (Blake) Hatch of Hyde Park; 54 grandchildren; 63 great-grandchildren; and two sisters, Clarice (Bruce) Peterson of Brigham and Radah (Delmar) Iverson of Millville.

Dear Dickey Family,
As long time neighbors (22 years) of Lucinda, we must say that she was the best neighbor anyone could ever have. She was there in emergencies, willing to share her fruit, never a cross word, so understanding. May we all live as good as she did. What an example of commitment and service! She will be missed, but we know she is happy to be with all the loved ones that have passed on before. Please feel of our love for you all.
Marvin and Louise John

Dear Robert and family,
Your mother always showed such kindness and love, We would see her at church when we visited in Millville and she just seemed to radiate happiness. She was a dear lady. Please know that you (and all your family) are in our prayers. May God bless you all.

I was so sorry to see that Lucinda had passed away, She was one of my favorite people. She was always so friendly and kind to everyone. She always spoke to me when we ran into each other. She is leaving quite a legacy. I know you all will miss her so much. I would have liked to attend her funeral, but I am visiting my daughter, Angie, in Henderson, NV. LOVE, SUSAN GOLDSBERRY

Kay, I did not know your mother other than to see her conducting the music in church. But, you could see nothing but kindness shining thru her. I wish I had the chance to know her. It has been many years since we have met. If you remember me with my maiden name "Rupp". We knew each other at Sky View and then I moved to Idaho. Strangely, now I live in Millville with my husband- David. Please accept my sympathies on the loss of your dear Mother. Betty

It has been years since I've seen Lucinda, but she is still at the top of my list as one of the kindest ladies I've ever met. I remember her always being so polite and kind and respectful and proper. She always seemed so Christ-like to me. I'm sure there was a celebration of all the good things she did in her life when she arrived on the other side. I have memories of caroling on her porch, collecting fast offerings from her home, watching her lead the music, and delivering goodies to her on occasion, but most of all I remember her quick and seemingly ever-present smile. It's a blessing to know Lucinda.
