Abby Elaine Dickinson, 37, of Marietta, Georgia, entered into the presence of her Lord and Savior on September 22, 2025. Born on April 2, 1988, in Atlanta, Georgia, Abby was the cherished daughter of Douglas “Doug” Dickinson and Kelly Whitworth Dickinson.
Abby lived a life marked by compassion, faith, and a deep love for people. After graduating high school, she participated in the Gap Year Program at Impact 360 Institute, where her faith and leadership skills grew and flourished.

She was known for her warm smile, quick wit, and the way she made every person she met feel seen and valued. Whether she was spending time with family, laughing with friends, or pouring into the lives of those she counseled, Abby’s presence made the world a kinder, brighter place.
