Mary was born in September of 1943 in Decatur, the daughter of James C. and Thelma Turner. Mary married Jack L. Dickey in June of 1969.
Mary was a passionate educator, starting her career in Taylorville, Illinois. She also taught at Springfield South East High School and Lakeview High School in Decatur. She extended her “mission field” of teaching to Decatur Christian School in 1974 and retired from there as Principal after 30 years. While at DCS, she helped organize the musical group “Soul Purpose”. Mary delighted in teaching children, especially teens. Her greatest desire was that her love of Jesus would overflow to her students. That accomplished legacy lives on in many of them today. Proverbs 3:5-6
Surviving are her husband, Jack, son John W. Dickey and wife Susan, daughter Jennifer L. Yeakley and husband Tim, grandchildren, Alexandria L. Schroeck, Zachary, Emory, Jonas and Irina Yeakley, as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents and one brother Bill Turner.
