Connie Marlowe Dickerson—a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt—went home to be with her Heavenly Father on April 6, 2016, with her loving husband and sister by her side, after fighting a courageous battle against ALS.
Connie was born to Ruth Lenore Marlowe and Walter Joseph Marlowe on February 13, 1956. Her professional life was spent as an underwriter for some of the most prestigious insurance companies in the world, but what really distinguished Connie was her personal life. Connie, quite simply, loved the Lord, loved life, lived life zestfully, and spread joy everywhere that she went. She was beautiful, smart, funny, tenacious, and extremely talented. She was an accomplished pianist and frequently entertained her family and friends with difficult classical pieces that she spent months mastering every note of; she also did other things with her crafty hands including carpentry, cooking, inventing, quilting, painting, sewing, and an array of home improvement projects (reclaiming dead attic space, installing hardwood flooring, and remodeling kitchens/bathrooms), and excelled at all of them. Indeed, there was nothing beyond her reach because if she could dream it, she could do it. She had a heart for children and animals and was a wonderful mother to her three stepchildren and to her menagerie of dogs and cats (and was frequently known to nurse wild animals back to health). And she was a cherished, loyal, and lifelong friend to the people lucky enough to call her friend.
Connie is survived by her loving husband, Dwayne Dickerson; by her three stepchildren, Brandon Dickerson and wife Melina, Erica Dickerson, and Keri Dickerson; and by her granddaughter Aubree Dickerson. She is also survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Cindy and David Sproul, and by her brother and sister-in-law, Kip and Diana Marlowe.
Memorial Services will be Saturday, April 16, 2016, 2:00pm (in the chapel) at Tallowood Baptist Church, 555 Tallowood Road, Houston, Texas 77024. Reception immediately following the memorial service.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Connie’s name to the ALS Foundation of Texas (“Gifts In Tribute”):

A wonderful lady that I was fortunate to know back in high school. My recollection of Connie was that she had a natural, positive connection and impact on just about everyone she came into contact with. My sincere condolences and sympathies go out to her husband, family, siblings, friends and loved ones.
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
Thank you for all you did to make our mother's funeral special, dignified, and easy for us.
I just can't express to you enough how much we appreciated the kindness and professionalism my family experienced with you and your staff.
Thank you for treating my beloved mother with honor and respect all throughout the process.
Our family will be forever grateful to the owner and staff at Beresford Funeral Services for the excellent services they provided to our family upon the death of our loved one. Everything went smoothly. The planning was easy with everything needed for the funeral provided on sight at reasonable prices with no pressure to spend more than planned. They were flexible with our personal plans, very kind, and considerate from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend Beresford Funeral Services to anyone in need of funeral services.
