    Lenore Dickinson Mardis, passed away at home, on April 3, 2008.  She was born April 1,
  1915, in St. Michael, the daughter of Ezra Pope Dickinson and Leonore Richardson

  her daughter, Lenore "Muffet" McClintock and son-in-law, Scott Lee McClintock, Somerset;
  grandchildren, Leslie McClintock, Oakton, Va.; Ian McClintock and his fiancˇe, Brooke

  friends. Lenore attended the Castle School in Tarrytown, N.Y., where she studied theater
  and dance, she later attended the Semple School and the Fashion Academy, both in New
  York City.  Her many skills were put to work at the amateur Little Theater in Cresson
  and the Mountain Playhouse in the mid 1930s. After World War II, she and her husband
  moved to Somerset, where, for 50 years, they owned and operated Mardis Ford Lincoln
  Mercury Inc.  Lenore was active in the community as past president of the Welfare League.
  She was a member of the St. Paul's Presbyterian Church.  Lenore was happiest on the golf
  course, playing bridge with the "Bridge Club," walking a dog on the beach or sailing the
  high seas with Captain John.  Our Lenore will long be remembered for her convivial nature.
  She was witty, kind and quite  intelligent, she wrapped her arms around those of us she 
  loved.  She will be in our hearts forever.  There will be no visitation.  A memorial
  service will be held at 3 p.m. June 7 at Somerset County Memorial Park.  In lieu of
