DICKSON, MARY JANE CUTI
Mary Jane Cuti Dickson or "Maddie"as she was lovingly known by family and 
friends, passed away on October 13, 2010. Born July 25, 1918, she lived a 
full life, always happily caring and giving to her family and friends. She 
worked for many years at Lallie Kemp Hospital from where she eventually 
retired. However, her favorite job was caring for her family. She was 
always in the kitchen cooking, ready for whomever stopped by. Mangia! was 
one of her favorite phrases.  She used food as her personal way to show her 
love. Mary's final days ended at the Richard Murphy Hospice House with her 
family by her side.  A lifelong resident of Independence, LA, Mary was 
preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Lyle Dickson, her father and 
mother, Sam and Annie Cuti; brother, Vincent Cuti; sister, Josephine Cuti 
Alfano; brother Victor Cuti.  She is survived by her two sons, Salvador 
Dickson and Michael Dickson, both of Independence; five grandchildren, Karl 
Dickson of Severn, MD; Shawn Dickson of Hammond, LA; Missy Dickson Miller 
of Albany, LA; Michael Dickson of Independence, LA; and Kristine Dickson of 
Baton Rouge, LA; as well as eight great-grandchildren, and one great-great-
grandson.  Funeral arrangements have been made through McKneely Funeral 
Home in Amite, LA.  Services will be held at Mater Dolorosa Catholic Church 
on Friday, October 15, 2010. Visitation will be held at the church from 
9:30 to 11:30, followed by the Mass. Burial services will follow at
