It is with regret we announce the passing of Mrs. Letha Doyce Dickinson, age 82, of Fayetteville, TN. Doyce was born on April 16, 1938 in Yellville, AR to the late Alva and Rebecca Weiher Johnson. She passed away on June 13, 2020 at Donalson Care Center, surrounded by her loving family.
Doyce was a member of Genesis Methodist Church (formerly, State Line Methodist Church). She earned her Bachelors Degree from the University of Arkansas, with a major in Physical Education. She worked as a Physical Education Teacher, and coached track, field, swimming, and diving. She was a great synchronized swimmer and enjoyed teaching her students.
