Ann Page Myers Dickson (Page)
Ann Page Myers Dickson (Page), a cherished resident of Second Creek, WV, peacefully departed this life at the age of 89 on Saturday, April 6, 2024. Born in Harrisonburg, VA, Page’s journey was marked by resilience, faith, and a deep connection to her roots.
Page’s educational path led her to Queens College, where she honed her intellect and passion. Later, she joined the ranks of Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) and ventured to Greenbrier County, WV. It was here that she encountered the love of her life, the late William (Bill) M. Dickson.
Together, Bill and Page carved out a life on the Dickson homeplace at Second Creek. This cherished property had been in the Dickson family for generations, its history woven into the very fabric of their existence.
Page’s unwavering faith found its home at Salem Presbyterian Church, where she served as both Elder and Trustee. Her commitment extended beyond the church walls — she actively participated in the Greenbrier Historical Society and the Lewisburg Garden Club, leaving an indelible mark on her community.
The 1980s witnessed Page and Bill’s labor of love: the restoration of the Dickson homeplace – Spring Valley Farm. Their efforts transformed the house onto the historical register, preserving its legacy for generations to come. Page’s discerning eye scoured antique shops and auctions, selecting furnishings that breathed life into their home.
But it was the land itself that held Page’s heart. Driven by her love for the farm and the serene rural setting, she placed the land under a permanent land trust. This decision ensured that the farm would remain a sanctuary, limited to one additional residence.
Page was the beloved daughter of the late John W. Myers, Jr., and Lorraine Myers. She leaves behind her devoted brother, John Myers III, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
A funeral service in honor of Page’s life will take place on Saturday, May 4th, at 2 p.m., at Salem Presbyterian Church, with Reverend Kristi Shay Moore officiating. Following the service, a reception will be held in the church parlor, and Page will find her final resting place at the New Lebanon Cemetery in Monroe County.
Page M. Dickson’s legacy lives on — a tapestry woven with love, faith, and a profound connection to the land she so dearly cherished. May her memory continue to inspire those who follow in her footsteps.
As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to the North House Museum located at 814 Washington St., Lewisburg, WV 24901 or online at www.greenbrierhistorical.org/donate.html or directly to Salem Presbyterian Church.
