Longtime Anchorage resident Gloria Lee Dickinson, 79, died Oct. 30, 2008, at home from a heart attack. Family and friends were invited to share memories of Gloria at Jack Henry Post #1, 840 W. Fireweed Lane.
Gloria was born April 26, 1929, to Evelyn Nugent in Minneapolis, Minn. After high school graduation, she worked as an expert photo tinter. She met and married Rodney A.

The family traveled the Alaska Highway to Anchorage in 1961. She worked at Chugach Electric for more than 25 years, retiring in 1988.

Her son Scott said, "My mother had a very beautiful heart, and as far as I'm concerned, I had the best mother in the world."
She is survived by her son, Scott of Anchorage; granddaughters, Christiana Dickinson of Anchorage, Melissa Dickinson Little of Arizona; two great-grandsons, two great-granddaughters and many close friends. Mrs. Dickinson was preceded in death by her husband, Rodney; and son, Mark. Donations may be made to a favorite charity of choice. Visit the online memorial at legacy.com
