Born in Five Mile River on August 11, 1952, she was a daughter of the late Howard and Irene (MacDonald) Dickson. Hattie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, and loved spending time with her family and friends making precious memories. She looked forward to ball season, to cheer on her local players, especially her grandsons. When she wasn't with her family, or at the field, she could be found looking for a yardsale deal.  In her younger years, she worked at the Kwik-Way in Kennetcook where she and a very special friend, Carol, served up great food and great service and made many friends from near and far. Years later she worked for Vance Hanes and gained many new friends; Edie and Sharon were spoken of often. Hattie is survived by her loving husband of 46 years, Clarence; daughter, Krista (Rick); son, Levi (Jana); grandchildren, Cole (Melissa), Khloe, Isaac, and Lincoln; great-grandchildren, Brayden and Alexa; sisters, Phyllis, Mary, Gloria (Ged), Sheila (Danny), Valerie, Brenda, and Sandra (Harlan); brothers, Nelson (Donna) and Myles (Bev); and sister-in-law Betty, along with several nieces and nephews, extended family and friends.
