Helen Lorine Humphrey Dickson

Helen Lorine Humphrey Dickson, 82, passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus on September 5, 2016 in Oklahoma City, OK. Her broken body is finally healed and free of pain. She was born on May 27, 1934, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to Ethridge and Lucile (Renfro) Humphrey. Helen graduated from Classen High School and attended the University of Oklahoma. She married her best friend, Richard Lavoy Dickson, on December 8, 1956. She worked in Accounting for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company for several years. She was so efficient that they had to hire 3 workers to fill her position when she left to start her second career as a full time mom when her only child, daughter Lori, was born. She was always serving others whether it was volunteering at Lori’s schools, at church, or taking pictures to give to others. Helen never left home without her (film) camera!
