Obituary
'Mildred Irene Roberts was born in the Big Sinking community December 26th, 1927 and entered into rest Monday, April 15th, 2013. She was the daughter of the late Grover C. and Amanda Sweet Roberts.
She was a member of the Big Sinking Baptist Church- faithful in attendance and generous in giving. She was a member of the choir, Vacation Bible School worker, former Sunday School teacher and a charter member of the WMU. She and her husband were treasurers of the Church for more than 35 years. Her last conscious moments were at a church business meeting being actively involved in the discussion.
On May 10th, 1947 she united in marriage with Floyd Dick, who survives her. They were blessed with a daughter; Kathy Vickery and a son Gary Dick; five grandchildren; Darran and Derrick Vickery, Keri Foy, Lindsay, and Wesley Dick and great grandchildren; Ben, Luke, Allie and Kaden Vickery and Olivia and Miles Foy, son-in-law; Dan Vickery and daughter-in-law: Barbara Dick.
She is also survived by a brother: Sidney Roberts and sister: Mary Ruth Morrow and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her brothers: Harry, Homer and Frank Roberts and her sisters: Dorothy Morrow and Beulah Dick; her nephew: Tommy Roberts and nieces: Janie Dick and Joyce Denney.
Mildred was a teacher and librarian in the Wayne County School System for 18 - years, retiring in 1989. She was an avid reader- reading the Bible, newspapers, magazines, fiction, biography, poetry, even cookbooks. Her feelings about reading were expressed in the poem-
\u0027Books are keys to wisdom\u0027s treasure
Books are gates to lands of pleasure
Books are paths that upward lead
Books are friends-that\u0027s why I read\u0027
She was deeply devoted to her husband, siblings, children and their families, along with her church family. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
She was awaiting the day when she would see her Savior and be reunited with family and friends.
II Timothy 1:12 was a favorite verse of hers. \u0027- for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.\u0027
