Anne Dickson Fogleman of Raleigh died October 11, 2024, at the Rosewood Health Center at the Cypress of Raleigh, at the age of 78. She was a former owner of Dickson Press and The News-Journal.
She was a beloved wife, mother, sister, and grandmother.
Born and raised in Raeford, she was the daughter of Paul and Margaret Dickson. She attended the University of North Carolina – Greensboro, focusing on English language and literature. She met the love of her life, Louis, in Charlotte, before starting their family in Greensboro. She and Louis raised their three boys, Hal, Dickson and Paul in Fayetteville. Following in her father and brother's footsteps, she was involved in many civic and community activities, including serving two terms on the Fayetteville City Council. She received a bachelor's degree from Fayetteville State University, where she later served on the Board of Trustees. She and Louis retired in Chapel Hill before moving to Raleigh.
She was an avid reader and loved to needlepoint, cook, and ride her beloved horse, Hannah. She enjoyed lively political debates and sunsets at her beach house at Topsail Beach. Her favorite companions over the years were her yellow labs, Guinevere and Bella, and her Siamese cats, Yin and Jinn. She had an insatiable desire to learn about other cultures by traveling the world, and worked as a flight attendant and travel agent. Her greatest passion was her family whom she loved with all her heart and soul.
She was preceded in death by her husband Louis H. Fogleman, Jr., her parents, her brother Paul III (Pete), her sister Nancy and her close cousin John. She will be lovingly remembered by her family, including her sons Louis Henry Fogleman, III (Carter) of Hampstead, Ross Dickson Fogleman (Elizabeth) of Dallas, Texas, and Paul McEachern Fogleman (Elizabeth) of Raleigh; her grandchildren, Eliza, Drew, Charlotte, and George; her brother, Robert Arthur Dickson (Victoria); her nieces, Margaret Dickson (Eric Roehrig) and Susan Dickson (Jamie DeGraw); her cousin Alvis Barnes Dickson, Jr. (Constance); and great-nieces and nephews and numerous cousins.
Her family is thankful for the wonderful caregivers at the Cypress of Raleigh, where she lived for the last several years. She struggled with her memory, but we know she cherished every hug and kiss that she received from her visitors there.
She will be laid to rest in the Dickson family plot in Raeford during a private graveside burial.
