Betty Faye Hosmer Dickerson

Betty Faye Hosmer Dickerson, a cherished Mother and Grammy, entered her eternal home in Heaven on April 8, 2025, surrounded by the love of her daughters. Born on August 31, 1934, in Brownville, AL to Thomas B. Hosmer and Clara Sexton Hosmer. Betty was predeceased by her husband, Edwin M. Dickerson, her parents, her older sister Evelyn Hosmer, brother Thomas “Pug” Hosmer, and younger sister Wanda Biddle, as well as great-grandson Paden Ferguson.

Betty was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Odenville, AL where she enjoyed Sunday School and Worship Service.

She is survived by her four loving daughters: Cheryl Star, Judy Burns (Charlie), Michelle Nelson (Jeff), and Stacy Watts (Randy). Betty’s family brought her immeasurable joy, and she also leaves behind a host of grandchildren: Faith Edwards (Chris), Tina Ferguson (Byron Jenkins), Karen Amari, Jennifer Bradley, Daniel Murphree (Rena), Ashley Nelson, and Lindsey Wilson (Nik).

Her love extended even further to her great-grandchildren: Catherine, Will, and Caroline Edwards; Brooks and Connor Smith; Victoria, Arabella, Ava, Luca, and Aubriana Amari; Margaret June Murphree; Carson and Selah Bradley; Vada and Ryker Wilson; and great-great-grandson, Joe Edwards.

Betty devoted her early years to being a stay-at-home mom, pouring her love and energy into raising her children. Later, she enjoyed a career, working in various roles. Her favorite career moments were in banking, where she retired as Branch Vice President from Regions Bank.

As she wished, a graveside service will be held at 2:00 pm on April 11, 2025, at Jefferson Memorial Gardens, Trussville, where she will be laid to rest next to her husband of 65 years. Pastor Chuck Lackey will officiate. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Calvary Baptist Church 77 Calvary Drive, Odenville, AL, 35120 or the charity of your choice in memoriam to Betty.
