Catherine Elizabeth “Liz” Dickmann of Pleasantville, N.Y. passed away on March 5, 2021 after a brief illness. She is survived by her husband of 40 years Thomas Martin Dickmann, sister Christine Bassett (William), brother Michael Lowery (Amanda), sister-in-law Christine Lowery, widow of brother Patrick who pre-deceased her in 2019, six nieces and nephews and 10 grand- nieces and nephews.
Liz was born in Tarrytown, N.Y. on June 2, 1955 to the late Edward Lowery and late Catherine (Curtin) Lowery. The family moved to Yorktown Heights, N.Y. in the late 1950’s where Liz attended Yorktown public schools and graduated from what is now Berkeley College in White Plains, N.Y. in 1972. She then worked as an Executive Assistant at Ecolab, Inc., a consumer products company, in White Plains for some 20 years.
Liz was an outdoor and physical fitness enthusiast who loved animals—especially horses and dogs. For a number of years she served as a volunteer for Pegasus Therapeutic Riding, a program that enhances the lives of individuals with disabilities and challenges through equine assisted activities.
There was no one who did not like Liz. She was the caretaker of the family—whenever anyone was sick or injured, she was the first to volunteer to help. It was said that she had the ability to light up a room when she walked into it. And if there were any strangers in that room, she knew their names before she left.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Westchester SPCA and Feeding Westchester are requested in Liz’s memory.
A memorial visitation will be held for Liz on Saturday, March 13 at the Beecher Flooks Funeral Home, 418 Bedford Road in Pleasantville, between 4 and 6 PM.
A memorial service will be held at a later post-COVID date.
