Dixie Olson Obituary

Published by The Waunakee Tribune from Apr. 28 to Apr. 29, 2023.
Waunakee, WI - Our beloved Dixie Lee Olson has gained her angel wings on April 13, 2023 after a long 10 year battle with Neuroendocrine cancer. Her final days were spent at home with close family. Dixie spent her winters down in Fort Myers beach, FL soaking up the sun, relaxing at the outrigger, and dancing at Wisconsin days. That was one of her favorite places to be. When it got to hot down there she would come back home to Waunakee, WI to be with her family. Her family was her number one priority. Dixie's smile, huge heart and outgoing personality is what made her one of a kind. She would walk into a room without knowing anyone and leave with a handful of life long friends. Dixie will be missed dearly but will never be forgotten.

To honor her wishes there will not be a funeral service held but instead a celebration of life at a later date. In lieu of flowers you may make a donation to the NETS foundation in her honor. https://netcancerfoundation.com. Please share condolences at fosterfuneralhomes.com
