Kathen Louise Dickerson, lovingly known as "Aunt Kat," passed away on December 21, 2024, at the age of 71. She was born on July 21, 1953, in Rusk, Texas, to the late Leb Bradley and Mazola Dearman.
Kathen graduated from Rusk High School in 1972 and went on to dedicate her life to caring for others. She worked briefly at the Cherokee County Courthouse but found her true calling in the healthcare industry, where she served as a compassionate caregiver to people of all ages. Her kindness and dedication left a lasting impact on those she cared for.
Kathen had a zest for life that was evident in everything she did. Fishing was her favorite pastime, but she never missed an opportunity to dance when music played. Her vibrant spirit and warm heart brought joy to everyone who knew her.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Leb Bradley and Mazola Dearman, as well as her brothers Learmon Bradley and Leb Bradley Jr. Kathen is survived by her devoted spouse, Floyd Dickerson; daughters April Dickerson of DeSoto, Texas, Erica Bradley of Dallas, Texas, and Erika Dickerson of Tyler, Texas; sons Jeffrey Moseley of Tyler, Texas, and Tracy Dickerson of Grand Prairie, Texas.

Foreman of Rusk, Texas, Bernice Bradley of Lufkin, Texas, and Cabrina Foreman of Rusk, Texas; brother Bobby Bradley of Jacksonville, Texas; great-aunt Frankie Dearman Singletary of Long Beach, California; 21 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends who will cherish her memory.
