Frances Mae Dickerson, a 74-year-old woman, passed away due to natural causes on March 22, 2018, at Orchard Park Rehab in Tacoma, Washington. Despite extensive efforts by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office (PCMEO), her next of kin remained unidentified at the time of her passing. This lack of information added to the complexity of handling her case, as there was a pressing need to locate any potential relatives who could make decisions regarding her remains.
In their thorough search for family, the PCMEO discovered that Frances had a sister. Unfortunately, the attempts to contact her were fruitless, leaving the case at a standstill with no known relatives to claim her and honor her wishes. This uncertainty about her background and family connections left Frances Mae Dickerson's case as an unclaimed person within the Pierce County system.
After her passing, Frances's remains were transferred to a rotation funeral home where she was cremated. Her cremains were subsequently returned to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office. The journey of her case, with NamUs ID UCP53092 and agency case number 18-0611, reflects the challenges faced in handling unclaimed individuals, where despite the best efforts of agencies like the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, some cases remain unresolved. The office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, continues to be available for any further information or leads at the contact number 253-798-6494.
