In Memory of Helen Dickinson
Helen Irene Dickinson, 88, of Cumberland died Sunday, August 25, 2019 at United Pioneer Home. She was born October 18, 1930 in Frederic, WI to Alfred and Ethel (Carlson) Schultz. After graduating from Frederic High School in 1948, she was employed at Farmers State Bank as a teller, bookkeeper and secretary and the Inter-County Leader as a bookkeeper. She was married in the Town of West Sweden on August 5, 1950 to John "Jack" Dickinson. They spent 60 golden years together.
Early in their marriage, they moved out west, where Jack worked on the pipeline. In 1956 they left for Guam where Jack worked for Foremost Dairies and Helen was busy raising two children. After returning to Minneapolis, their third child was born. They purchased a new home in Fridley, MN and Helen was hired as a bookkeeper for Midland Co-op. In 1977 they moved to McKinley and once again she found work, this time as parish secretary for Trinity and Georgetown Lutheran Churches.
Helen loved to garden, knit, crochet, walk in the woods, hunt and fish. Over the years she served as a 4-H leader, Little League coach, secretary and treasurer for three churches and mother to three wonderful children.
