Rest in Peace, Charlotte Dickison
/CHARLOTTE LOUISE DICKISON
April 5, 1925 – September 1, 2026
Charlotte was born April 5, 1925, in Omak, Washington. She died September 1, 2026. Charlotte is survived by her brother, Wallace Pascoe Jr. (99), and three nephews: Wally, Wes, and Wade. Charlotte and Wallace lived together these last several years and enjoyed each other and traveling together.
Charlotte had three children and one stepdaughter: Becky Bond, Charlene Corrigan (deceased), Kevin Parkinson, and Diane Cox (deceased); five grandchildren: Louis Bond (spouse), Wendy, Brenda Clark, Lisa Myers (spouse), Dave, Albert Bond (spouse), Debra, and Kurt Corrigan (spouse) Caren.
Great Grandchildren: twenty-five, Great-Great Grandchildren: forty-five. What a large five-generation family that she was so proud of!
Charlotte retired as an accountant with the civil service from Fort Lewis. She started in Moses Lake, Washington, at Larson AFB, and then spent time in Arizona, and then back to Washington at Fort Lewis. She and her husband, Robert Dickison (deceased), moved to Germany for her work. While there, they became world travelers! Then back to Fort Lewis to finish out her civil service career.
Charlotte then became a bookkeeper for a few Ben Franklin stores. After the loss of her husband, she and some friends got involved with Dixieland Jazz. That became a passion for which there was no turning back! She joined the Greater Olympia Dixieland Jazz Society (GODJS). There she found a home.
She became the director of the GODJS Festival that held a four-day dance once a year at St. Martin’s College. The festival was considered one of the best in the United States. She traveled all over the States to attend Dixieland dances.
Charlotte was also very active in the PEO Chapter FW (fabulous women), where she put some of her talents towards raising money for women’s scholarships.
Charlotte was also one of the founding members of St Benedict Episcopal Church, where she was a very proud and active member.
Charlotte loved to cook and was excellent. She sewed from an early age and, in later years, became a quilter. She had a special eye for patterns and color.
The family wants to give special thanks to Gladys of Dignify Care, who is a very special person, and to Monique, who was special in taking care of Mom. They were above and beyond wonderful. We can’t express our appreciation enough!
The Burial and Committal Service will be held at St. Benedict Episcopal Church on September 26th at 2 o'clock, followed by a reception.
