ENGLEWOOD — Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Dixon, 97, of Englewood, passed away Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025.

She was born on Oct. 19, 1927 in Dayton, to the late Leo and Edna Budde. Betty worked many years in the grocery business at Flint's, Stump's, and finally retired as back door checker at Drexel Foodtown.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our sister Barb, whose dedication to Mom over the last 4 years allowed her to live her life out at home. Mom's quality and longevity of life can be contributed to the care Barb gave her. We are forever indebted to her.
