Joleen Johnson Dickerson

Joleen Johnson Dickerson, 97, of Dahlonega, Georgia, entered God's kingdom on December 4, 2024.  She was born on February 10, 1927, to Dura and Joel Johnson in Douglas, Georgia.

Survivors include two sons, Joel and Karry; daughter-in-law Yolanda; grandchildren Ira, Roland, Shay, Edward, Amber, and Courtney; great- grandchildren Michaela, Alyssa, Noah, Abigail, Elijah, and Bobby; nieces GeorgeAnn and Zara; and nephew Perry. She was predeceased by her husband Robert, oldest son Robby, great-granddaughter Alyssa and brother Jimmy Johnson.

Joleen was a true "steel magnolia", having the charm as a former college beauty queen and the quiet strength, resilience, and independence of a southern matriarch. She enjoyed sewing, golf, travel, fishing, boating, gardening, reading (especially her Bible), and healthy home-cooked meals from scratch. She graduated from the University of Georgia, was a life-long learner, and taught elementary school for many years before moving to the Florida Keys and Bahamas to raise her family.

Visitation for family and friends will be on Sunday, December 8, 2024, from 4 pm to 8 pm.  Memorial services will be on Monday, December 9, 2024, at 3 pm. Visitation and service will be at Anderson-Underwood Funeral Home, 2068 Hwy 19 BUS, Dahlonega, Ga 30533, (706) 864-4159.
A private graveside service will be held in Douglas, Georgia, on Tuesday, December 10, 2024.

The family wishes to thank all of Joleen's caregivers, especially Yolanda Dickerson and Maria Campos, for their tireless, devoted, and loving care.
