She attended Sullivan West High School. Beag was a person who was just full of life and loved to live. She worked numerous jobs, mostly cooking and baking, where the locals knew her well especially her famous pumpkin rolls. She wanted everyone in her family to learn her recipes for Soup Beans and Cornbread, Homemade Biscuits and Gravy (the secrets to a good marriage). She didnt much care for camping at first but later it grew on her and she really enjoyed the camping trips with the family outdoors. Although she enjoyed cooking, gardening, bird feeding (she had her 5 feeders she watched every day), her real hearts desire was just being with her family. She loved her husband (and kept him in his place), her kids and grandchildren were her life. She made the house into a home with her childrens and grandchildrens photos everywhere she could put one. She made sure they were happy, healthy, and well fed before herself. She was a selfless mother and wife. She is preceded in death by her mommy and old man, Jack and Burnace Jones; husband, Lydle H. Dickenson; son, Ernie Stewart; brothers, E.G. , Jackie Lee, Robert, John Paul, and Jimmy Jones; sister, Cathy Overbay; fur babies, Daisy (Collie) and Lady (German Shepherd).
