Dixie,along with Don, was 1 of the few Brooks cousins that I could easily talk to (I was very shy growing up even trying to talk with family was & is still at times hard) She was always so understanding & loveable to be around. Mom still has the doll (Dixie made) she got as a door prize at 1 of the reunions. Til we all meet again someday

Aunt Dixie and Uncle Don were always a huge staple in my life. There isn´t a favorite childhood memory or family gathering that you are not in. I love you always and glad you are with Jesus now with no more suffering.

My heart is broken, I love Dixie, she helped guide me in my walk with Jesus. When I was down she was there to lift me up. Every week she'd pick me up to go garage selling, I traveled to Tennessee with her to visit family, what a great time we had. Dixie was one of a kind I love you my precious friend you were as beautiful on the inside as you were on the outside and I will miss you always. To the family I want you all to know you have my deepest sympathy

Dixie was a dear, dear friend, none better! She was constant in her belief in our Lord Jesus Christ; she was a great witness for Him with all she knew or met. Ron and I was her pastor for a while; she was a valued asset to the church! I visited her home often and we´d go shopping and to lunch. I talked with her about a month ago, I couldn´t get to see her because of my health; that breaks my heart! Meet me at Heaven´s gate, Dixie. Love you so much, dear Friend.
