Lola Dickerson Obituary
Lola grew up in Iowa and received her degree from the University of Minnesota. She met her husband, Richard Dickerson, while they were both working as ushers at the University concert hall.
Lola and Richard were married in 1956 and moved to California in 1963, where Lola raised their five children. She was actively involved in her children's lives, volunteering in their schools, leading Girl Scout troops, hosting AFS students, and always keeping the family cookie jar full of her famous chocolate chip cookies. Lola was also known for her great love of flowers, her amazing garden, and her discerning eye for antiques.
Lola is survived by her husband, Richard, and their five children: Joyce, Sara, Lise, Dan, and Ian, as well as their nine grandchildren.
A celebration of her life will be held at Villa Gardens in Pasadena on March 23, 2024, at 10am. If you like, we encourage Lola's friends and loved ones to join us in honoring her beautiful life by bringing a small garden bouquet and wearing bright colors or florals to share in her great love of gardening. Lola will be dearly missed and always treasured.
