On April 5,1952 a Queen was born Verdia Mae Dickerson to the late Thermon and Georgia Mae Brock. On Friday March 6, 2026 at 10:20PM my mother succumbs to Cholangiocarcinoma a Bile Duct Cancer. She was surrounded by love and serenity as she took her last breath.

At a very tender age she gave her life to Christ. She was a faithful member of Little Union Missionary Baptist Church. Throughout her life’s journey she worked in many fields.
