Madeline (Lee) M. Dickerson, 93, formerly of Hudson, NY passed away after a brief illness on June 19, 2023. Born in Hudson, NY to the late Michael and Theresa Mangione on May 17, 1930, she spent many years working in the Hudson City School District and serving the community through countless volunteer organizations including the Greenport Ladies Auxiliary, Patient Registration at Columbia Memorial Hospital, Columbia and Greene County Hospice, Meal on Wheels, and RSVP Medical Transportation. She is predeceased by her parents, a sister Theresa, a brother Emanuel, and her husband Ted. Lee is survived by her sister Angelina Martin, her aunt Antionette Wilson, her daughter Susan (Ed) Rogalski of Bedford MA, her son Robert (Kathleen) Dickerson of Fairport NY, her five grandchildren, Helena (Dave) Kubarycz, Natalie (Anthony) Gizzie, Olivia Dickerson, Mitchel Dickerson, and Sarah Rogalski. In addition, she is also survived by two great grandchildren Emmett and Kyla Kubarycz.
She enjoyed daily exercise class, playing a variety of card games, especially pinochle, boating on Kinderhook Lake, knitting for her grandchildren and testing her green thumb skills. Her Italian Christmas cookies, deviled eggs and signature tomato sauce will surely be missed.
A funeral service will be held on Friday June 23rd at 1:00 at St John of Rochester, 8 Wickford Way in Fairport. Interment will take place on Monday July 3rd at Cedar Park Cemetery in Hudson, NY.

The world has just lost one of its BEST women. Madeline was a very compassionate, caring, giving, yet fun-loving woman. Although I only met her just six months ago, I looked forward to seeing her smiling face as we met every morning for breakfast. The other ladies at our regular table felt the same. We will all miss her so much. Words can not adequately express the depth of our sorrow. Our condolences to her family.
To my dear sweet family of Mrs Dickerson, my heart is broken and I am sad. She was the sweetest and kindest Lady I knew. She was always very happy and up beat and will be missed by all. May she be in the Arms of the Angels and forever in Peace. God Bless sweet Lady.
Sue and Bob, I am so sorry to hear about Lee’s passing. I will always remember her kindness and generosity when we would visit. Please you all will be in our thoughts and prayers.
