Dionne attended Holy Rosary Catholic School and Pattonville Heights Middle School for her early education. She later attended Pattonville Senior and Vashon High School; receiving her GED from St. Louis Job Corps in 1992. Iggy, as she was affectionately called, was baptized at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in 1973. In 2011, Dionne continued her faith, receiving communion and confirmation along with her family members at St. Elizabeth Mother of John the Baptist Catholic Church. Iggy had many occupations and hobbies. She worked as a manager at Jack in the Box, Inc. from 1992 – 1996 and Taco Bell, Inc. from 1996 – 1998. However, she loved to drive big cars which lead to her interest and later employment as a bus driver for Atlantic Express, Inc. from 1998 - 2005. She also loved being special events driver for St. Louis Catholic Academy and cooking at Nick’s Bar & Grill.

Henderson-Prater; and two uncles, Dino and Tony Henderson. Those of us who were fortunate enough to have known Dionne will remember her as a funny, down-to-earth and loving person. She was always smiling, loved to talk and her laugh was distinct and identifiable to most. When she was in the room, everyone knew it. Having fun with her family and friends was a must. She was a kid at heart and loved her cartoons. Every person that has known our beloved Dionne had a special moment with her that will forever be embraced in our hearts.
