Larry Wayne Dickson

In Loving Memory 

Larry Wayne Dickson 

September 28, 1951 – May 5, 2026

Larry was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, treasured brother, uncle, and friend. He  dearly loved children and often joked that he wanted to have 14 kids, but upon hearing  that, his wife Ruby told him in no uncertain terms that he would need to find an Amish  wife because two were enough. As she says, “God answered my prayers.” 

Larry was born in Lawrence County, TN, and raised in Ethridge, TN, where he lived  throughout his life. He had a deep love for the outdoors, especially hunting, fishing, and  working in the woods. He retired from Murray Ohio Mfg. after more than 33 years of  dedicated service. He was loved by almost everyone who met him. Larry also cherished  the times he got to visit the casino and always looked forward to his next trip. 

Predeceased By: Larry will reconnect with his predeceased loved ones: his mother,  Myrtle Brock Dickson; his father, Henry Dickson; his brothers, Robert, Frankie Sr.,  Steve, and Kenneth Odel; and his sisters, Orean and Beulah. 

Survived By: Larry is survived by his wife of over 53 years, Ruby Nell Scott Dickson;  his son, Kenneth Wayne (Christy); his daughter, Monica Dickson Norman (Randall);  three grandchildren: Dylan, Lashaylee, and Emmaleigh; three adopted grandchildren:  Trista, Kaylee, and Calvin; three sisters: Linda D. Yates, Vicky D. Cummings, and  Donna D. Corbin-Wesson; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. 

Service Information: In accordance with Larry’s wishes, there will be no immediate  service. The family will hold a Celebration of Life at a later date to honor his memory  and share the stories he loved so much.
