Dixie was a faithful Christian, Bible School teacher, and wife of an Elder of the church. She loved to entertain, and her parties were always the hottest ticket in town with an open table policy. Dixie loved to sing with her family. She was a lifetime member and past president of the PTA. Dixie was always winning something, was very competitive, outgoing for her children, was a good cook, and loved to feed anyone around. Her over-the-top approach to life aided her in her many school carnival booth wins. She was a talented seamstress with many outstanding costumes to her credit including making the mascot for Gulf State Utility. Dixie never met a stranger and was always there with a kind word. She will be deeply missed and well-remembered.
