She was employed at several places but dedicated much of her life to being a homemaker. As an active member of Paint Creek Missionary Baptist Church and serving for many years as a choir member, her faith guided her daily life. Dinah was known for her warm, playful spirit. She loved to tease folks in the gentlest ways, always leaving people laughing. Dinah especially enjoyed spending time with her walking club friends the "Lolly Gaggers". She enjoyed being out and about with people, sharing good food, and capturing memories through photography. She also found quiet joy in journaling and faithfully sending greeting cards to uplift others. Her Bible, puzzles, and garden were among the simple pleasures that brought her peace and fulfillment.

Dinah is survived by her sons, Tim (Detra) Bickerstaff of Tyrone, GA, Phil (Lisa) Lee of Gallipolis and step-son, Keith Scott of Pomeroy. Grandchildren, Jennifer "Jaelin" Purdy, Brittany Dixon, T.J.
