June Dickerson Neat, 90, of Columbia, KY died Sunday night, December 20, 2020 in Somerset at her son’s (Sean) home. She had been in rapidly declining health during the last several weeks. She was born April 22, 1930 in the Barnett’s Creek community of Adair County, KY to the late Thomas Jesse Dickerson and Letha Edna West Dickerson.
In 2015, she was preceded in death by James Arlo Neat, her husband of 65 years. Also preceding her in death were 3 sisters: Rose Hagy, Nancy Patterson, JoAnn Burton; and 3 brothers: John Dickerson, Frank Dickerson and Garnett Andrew Dickerson.
June’s smile and gentle nature brought a sense of peaceful joy to those who encountered her.
