Lori Dickson

Lori Dickson

Funeral Director

Lori has been with Pecan Grove since June 2014. She worked as a Registered Respiratory Therapist for 25 years and her desire to help people has led her to the funeral service profession. Lori is one of our Funeral Directors, who graduated from the Dallas Institute of Funeral Service. Having been born and raised here in the Waco area, she feels as though each person who comes through the door is already part of her family. She and her husband, Tom, live in Lorena. They have two children, Jessica, Regian, and her husband Kirk, parents of Lori and Tom's adorable grandson Kallan;  and James Dickson, currently an Electrical Engineering student at Texas A&M University!  “Gig 'em!”   


Lori feels incredibly blessed for the opportunity to work with others who have the same care and compassion for helping others in their time of need.
