Annmarie Dickson

Dickson, Annmarie (Clancy) of Milton, died October 24, 2015. 

Annmarie cherished her family. Being a mother and grandmother was her most important role in life and she loved being surrounded by her “kids” and watching them grow. She was nurturing to those who needed it and took in others as if they were her own family. Known to her nieces and nephews as “the comedian”, Annmarie was a funny, wise, and witty woman.  She would often say “life is short, so enjoy it while you can”. Annmarie was always put together and stylish and had a knack for engaging people in conversations. She made friends wherever she went.  Annmarie worked for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and then went on to work as an executive assistant for Blue Cross Blue Shield for 20 years. She was a loyal parishioner of St. John’s Church in Quincy.  Her faith was very important and always brought comfort to her. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. 

Her family would like to extend a special thank you to the caregivers at Julia Ruth House Adult Day Care who showed such compassion and comfort to Annmarie during her time there.
