Gloria Dickson Obituary
Our dearest sister, Gloria Jean Dickson, of Wyoming, passed away peacefully into paradise on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026.
Gloria was the second child born to Edward and Stella (Kuzma) Dickson in the beautiful month of May.
Gloria was a graduate of St. John's High School, Class of 1961, and went on to pursue her nursing career at the Mercy Hospital School of Nursing in Scranton, graduating in 1964. At the very early age of 5, Gloria wanted to be a nurse. She pursued that dream and enjoyed 40 years of dedicated and compassionate nursing care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, which, incidentally, was only supposed to be for one year! Gloria was highly respected by her peers.
Gloria was blessed with a caring and loving heart, an absolutely fantastic sense of humor, and a good listening ear. She was truly one of a kind and one you could never forget. One of the greatest joys in life was to have our wonderful sister, Gloria. We were truly blessed and will miss her.
In addition to her loving parents, Gloria was preceded in death by her brothers, Lt. Edward A. Dickson Jr. (MIA) and Robert M. Dickson Sr., and her nephew, Robert M. Dickson Jr.
Surviving are her two sisters, Theresa Dickson, at home, and Mary M. Dickson M.D. and her husband, Michael H. Deneff Sr., Colorado; her nephew, Michael H. Deneff Jr., Colorado; her niece, Kristina Marlowe (Michael), South Carolina; great-nieces, Marie and godchild, Lucie Deneff; great-nephew, Michael Marlowe Jr.; and her sister-in-law, Nancy Dickson, South Carolina.
Family and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial for Gloria at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in St. Anthony's Church of Corpus Christi Parish, 224 Memorial St., Exeter. Interment will follow in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Carverton.
As per her wishes, there will be no viewing.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Bednarski Funeral Home, 168 Wyoming Ave., Wyoming. To share a memory or leave a message of condolence, visit www.bednarskifuneralhome.com.
