SERVICES SET WEDNESDAY FOR CARRIE DICKERSON

CLAREMORE--(OLL)--Carrie Barefoot Dickerson, the "Aunt Carrie" whose successful fight against the Black Fox Nuclear Plant near Inola vaulted her to national prominence in the environmental movement, died this morning at a Claremore nursing home. She was 89.

Author of books for adults and children, she remained a driving force in the Oklahoma sustainable energy movement until her death. She had begun a new series of initiatives designed to promote renewable alternatives to new coal-fired power plants, and recently received the first Carrie Dickerson Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oklahoma Sustainability Network.

Services will be at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2006 at Claremore First United Methodist Church with Rev. Ray Crawford officiating; burial in Woodlawn. Arrangements are under the direction of Rice Funeral Home in Claremore, 918-341-0376.

Information on visitation and memorials is pending.
Additional details will be posted at www.oologah.net as they become available.
