SPD is investigating the death as a homicide, the city’s 11th this year.
“We’re really just trying to determine what happened to Gloria,” Sgt. Jason Byron said.
Police currently do not have a suspect or a person of interest, he said.
Teresa Greenwalt Petersen, a longtime friend of Dickinson, is organizing the vigil along with Dickinson’s relatives.
The vigil is scheduled for 6 p.m. on the porch of 41 North Douglas Ave, where Dickinson’s body was found.

On Thursday, a memorial consisting of flowers and candles was on the porch of the duplex.
Petersen told the News-Sun that Dickinson was a joyful, happy person.
“She was a constant smiling face,” Petersen said. “Even in the darkest moments of my life, when her own world was in crisis.”
Petersen said that anybody wishing to attend the vigil is invited to do so.
