Our Condolences go out to you, Clarence, Candy, and Ramone, We have many fond memories of our years as neighbors in Irmo . Easter was a wonderful mother and an impressive, and memorable woman. I know her memory will be cherished by many,
Aunt cat
Sweeter than the sweets that she loved to eat, so kind and gentle, Uncle C.D. definitely found himself a winner.
She always had a smile, so bright, like a star in the night light.
So dainty and so cute, soft spoken and a joy to meet. Sophisticated with style and class. Very sensitive most definitely a representative of a southern Georgia peach.
Auntie although you’re not here I wouldn’t trade you for the world. Uncle CD bought us home a jewel from Georgia who had a humble spirit, compassionate heart. You were unique, specially made by God from your head to your feet.
If I had to choose a new Aunt it would be you again because to me you were a win win. I was a 13 year old girl when Unk bought you home . I can see why he married you because your truly a PEARL.
So Auntie get your rest, you gave us your best. Uncle CD, Candy, Ramone they are never alone. They now have this beautiful Angel they can always call on.
FLY OUR ANGEL YOUR FREE
Easter was a wonderful teacher and friend to all! She was always so positive and loved by all who had the honor of knowing her. I loved her smile and that twinkle in her eye. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel.
I am so sorry for the loss of a very dear soul. May God comfort Clarence, Candy and Ramon and give you peace. My prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
Love,
Jeannie Jeter (retired Dutch Fork teacher)
We are so sorry for the loss of Easter. To Clarence and the rest of our family, we will continue to pray for peace, strength, and understanding during the challenging days ahead.
Love,
Nigel & Bria
You will truly be missed. God bless you. I know you are at peace.
This hurts my heart to see you leave us, but we all know God has a special place for you in heaven. I still can hear you telling me ” you better look after your sister and take care of your wife” and you would tell me where you and CD were traveling to next. I love you and we all will miss you Auntie
Dear Clarence, Candace & Ramone, may God continue to comfort, keep & carry you. I’ve learned lasting lessons from Easter, my teaching comrade & friend. Her faith, grace & beauty would always uncover a special gift in every child, parent, teacher, & person she met. Even in challenging situations, she modeled how to pray, be courageous, & press-on. Her loving lessons of how to “do life” will always be remembered.
To our family, words cannot adequately convey our heartfelt condolences. We are so sorry for the loss of Easter but we do know that an earthly loss is a heavenly gain. May God keep everyone, bring them peace, strength, comfort and understanding in the days ahead.
Love, Peter and Brenda Prioleau and Berneatha Mickens
…. Each one of my four brothers brought into our family, four ‘Queens’, that bore prince and princesses…ya’ll know the story…
But, Easter (Cat) my youngest ‘Queen Sister was exceptional…She was soft but strong, she was mild yet tenuous, and one of her best qualities was her ability to be quiet and present at the very same time. I love her.
So on the afternoon that she joined the ‘other Angels’, I walked into her room and she was clear eyes and gazing around the room. I asked my brother, what were you saying to her? He said, I was telling her of our many friends who had been calling and asking about her and praying for her and that he was actually calling out some of the many names.
So one of the things that I will remember about my beloved Sister, is that moment of pure calm and clarity, that reminded me of a passage from a book, that was gifted me, entitled, Angels.
It says, Angels, content with their fame in Heaven,
Seek not the praise of Men.
I love you Auntie
My condolences to Clearance, Candace, Romone, family and friends. I’m deeply sorry for your loss. Easter and I shared so many fun memories. I will always cherish our friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,

My condolence to the Dickerson family. I am deeply sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort, 2 Cor. 1:3,4 comfort you and soothe your heart during this most difficult time as we await the promises of Revelation 21:4 to be fulfilled here on earth. Acts 24:15 assures us that love ones fallen asleep in death will be remembered in the resurrection. The resurrection is a guarantee because of Jesus faith death. Acts 17:31. May the peace that comes from the memories shared of Easter bring you comfort now and the difficult days to come.
What a wonderful sister you have been in the past. I miss you dearly. May the work you have done, speak for you.
Love you,
Willie C.
It is often hard to find the right words at a time like this. May you find peace, comfort, and all the love you need in the days to come.

What can I say. Easter was a beautiful woman. Her smile always stuck with you. I am happy that she is free from all the trouble in sickness that life bestowed upon her, but happy that she doesn’t have to be bothered by it any more. I’m sad that I won’t see that smile on this side again. Get your rest cousin until we meet again l.💔💜
To the Dickerson Family, we understand how it is for someone you love to be gone with God. We will keep y’all in prayer and be available when you need us.

To my favorite aunt I’m going to miss you gave me my nickname b love you very much always in my heart
Easter was a beautiful person inside and out. I had the pleasure of working with her at Nursery Road Elementary School and knowing her in Delta Kappa Gamma. She was an inspiration to everyone she worked with and was loved dearly by her students and their parents. She was the kind of teacher and friend who should be cloned again and again. She will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by so many, including me. My heart goes out to all in her family. She talked of you all often and sweetly.
CD, I was so sorry to hear your your lose. The love of a good wife is a blessing and I know you will truly miss her dearly. When my husband died I kept this scripture in mind, John 5:28 and 29. It speaks how our love ones will be resurrected. Haven’t seen you for a long time but family is family. Love you much your cousin. Lillian Boles COrnelius.
Heaven had gained a sweet beautiful soul . My condolences to the family, earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal. 🙏🏽
Easter was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I was blessed to be on the 2nd grade dream team with her at Dutch Fork when I started my teaching career. I fell in love with her beautiful hats and sunshine personality. To this day, I still have a gold angel Christmas ornament that I hang with care each year with “Love Easter” written on the bottom. Her memory will always be cherished. Prayers for your family to find peace and comfort.
To God be the glory for the life of Sister Easter Pearl Paul Dickerson. Our heartfelt sympathy to Clarence, Ramone and Candace and all family members and friends. The spirit of such a loving heart will live in memory forever! May you take comfort in the sweet memories of a beautiful life. Easter will forever be remembered as God’s beautiful Angel!
Sending love, prayers, and condolences to the Dickerson family. Easter was graceful, fun-loving, and thoughtful. She was also a superb role model for teachers like me and an inspiration for many students. She will be missed. ❤️

We worked together as educators, conforting and helping each other day by day. My love for her has no end. My admiration is beyond measure. We enjoyed our art adventures and treasure hunting in our retirement.
The Epitome of Class
So sweet and soft spoken
Every time I seen her , a smile adorned her beautiful face
Always so jovial ❤️ which is why it was so easy to love her
I’ve always called Aunt Cat and Uncle CD my 2nd set of parents. They showed up to my college graduation with big smiles on their faces. I’m going to miss my Aunt Cat. She had even stolen Roxy’s heart.
Her and Uncle Cd made visits to the house . Aunt Cat would dig through the candy jar in such excitement . She loved to eat candy and mama always made sure we had more than enough for her to snack on when she came. I’m going to miss her. But don’t cry for her. She is now FREE ❤️ I love you Auntie !!!!!
I love you Auntie. It still feels like a dream that you are gone. Such a beautiful soul. Rest peacefully

Easter Dickerson was one of the finest ladies that I have ever known. She loved her family immensely. I owe Raster and the entire Dickerson family and debt of gratitude for the way they loved and ministered to me during my Son Seth battle with brain cancer.

Clarence, Candy and Ramon, my years teaching with Easter at DFES were the best of my career. She was a joy to work with and a treasured friend. I will miss our long phone conversations and her laughter. God definitely received an angel and I bet Easter has finally met her donor too! As she always said, “her second angel” Easter was a true blessing to all who knew her. Please know your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Danny and Nan
Dearest Easter, our sweet neighbor. You and Clarence welcomed our family in 2003 with open arms. You were always so pleasant and happy. We will miss you sweet smile and graceful presence. Rest well our dear, dear friend. We will miss you very much.
Easter was a guiding light of positivity as my cooperating teacher when I did my student teaching in her 2nd grade classroom at Dutch Fork Elementary way back in 1997. She was always there for me, giving me her advice and perspective long after I finished my student teaching with her. She was an amazing woman, full of grace and kindness.
Precious Lady, You were called to love and teach All God’s Children and what a Beautiful Job you did! You were so loved, especially, by me! What a Day of Rejoicing it’s going to be when we are all reunited in our Heavenly Home! I love you, Sweet Friend!

Easter, God Bless you as you have earned your Heavenly home where sickness, pain and suffering no longer exist. I will miss you here but will see you again.
I will miss you immensely, but you’re free from all pain now. You’re finally free Auntie. #FlyInPeace 🕊
