Dixie was the first teacher my child had who helped me to recognize her disabilities and to begin the path of helping her to be the best she could be. She was always so encouraging even on the most difficult days. She is now reaping treasures in heaven. Turnbo, I am so sorry for your loss. I am sorry I missed the funeral and visitation...was out of town and just learned of Dixie's death today.

Everyone that was touched by Dixie is a better person! She is what a saint looks and acts like. Thanks Dixie for being part of my life, I am a better person because I knew you!

Not sure I have ever met a more "spunky" lady in my life! Haven't seen Dixie in years, but never forgot her great "can do" attitude. She was indeed a great person, prayers for family and friends.

Although I didn't know Dixie as well as I wish I had I knew enough to know she was one of the best and strongest people I will ever have been blessed to have had past through my life. Heaven is a better place with her there an I look forward to seeing her there one day. Then I will have the honor of knowing her the way I wish I had.

She was always there, always in a wheelchair, and always smiling. How many who knew Dixie were emboldened to go farther and do more in life because of her? A huge blessing that she was here and a huge loss that she is gone. My condolences to all.
