Catherine Pixler Obituary

Catherine Louise Pixler

February 15, 1943 - February 20, 2020

Catherine Louise Pixler, 77, died peacefully at HopeWest Care Center on February 20, 2020.

Catherine was born on February 15, 1943, to Joseph and Margaret Dalley, in Fruita. Catherine's family homesteaded in Fruita and built and operated the Park Hotel.

Catherine is survived by her husband, Dick Pixler; children, Robin (Dan) O'Connor, Misty Dittebrand, Peggy Griffith, David (Molly) Pixler, and Stacy (Don) Pinnt; siblings, James Dalley, Virginia (Ginger) Womack, Myrna McGranahan, Rodney Dalley and Patricia (Tishie) Munoz; ten grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and other extended family.

Catherine worked as a cook at Shelledy Elementary. She enjoyed helping children who came through the lunch line. She loved cooking, baking and canning. Catherine really enjoyed fishing and trips to Mesquite. Some of her last conversations were about going fishing.

Catherine was a very giving person and she touched the heart of everyone she met. We would like to extend our thanks to the staff at Larchwood and HopeWest for their caring and loving support.

Respecting her wishes, there will be no official service, but an Open House Celebration of Life from 1:30 - 3:30 Sunday, March 1, at the Fruita Community Center.

In lieu of flowers, donations to HopeWest Care Center.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
