To Dixie's family:
I didn't keep in touch and learned belatedly of her passing. When I was hard-up for cash as a student, she bought some art supplies from me, which weren't necessarily of the highest quality. I was impressed by her kindness and generosity. I'm sorry I don't know you all better. My love to you at this difficult time.

Dixie was one of the blessings of our lives. When Sandy called to let us know of her passing, the first thing I thought was, Oh, the world is a little darker. Then I thought about the light that she kindled in so many. She was a scintillating spark. Every time we got together was an experience. It could never be for a few minutes but always extended to hours. Time disappeared with Dixie. We could discuss everything and anything and we could laugh about all kinds of things. Dixie had a way of making everyone feel like her best friend, but Sydney and I really felt we were. While with Dixie, we knew her sisters and children. We met her after her trial of endurance and shortly after Sandy lost her baby. We saw Rob go and return from New Zealand, we saw Bert make mighty changes and have a huge impact teaching prisoners. I always felt a closeness to Bert, and I immediately felt that again when I saw him at the funeral. We were able to attend her wedding in Manti to Guy and get to know Guy. Even over the last couple of years, we have been able to keep up with our friends Roy and Patty.
Dixie is a choice spirit and I expect to be strengthened through knowing her and knowing that I can know her more.
Dixie was a giving person and allowed me to bless her many times. That was a privilege that allowed me to see things I would not have seen otherwise.
Dixie made life an experience. Anyone who would "speak" to her would recognize a level of understanding that superseded speech itself. There was always a spiritual communication that entirely vitalized us all mutually.
We love Dixie and are grateful for her and know she lives on. She blessed this planet with her presence and will prepare the other side for a great reunion when the Earth is changed in the Millennium. All the visions and experiences we shared are a result of the like-mindedness we shared.
We love you Dixie. Thanks for the light and testimonies!

Ralph is Dixie's cousin. We were surprised to hear of her passing when we returned from Disneyland yesterday. We so enjoyed the get togethers through the years of the old Central Park gang. Dixie was always a bright spot at those gatherings. She was so friendly and interested in everyone. What a special lady. We were so sorry we were not here for her funeral. We hope her family will accept our heartfelt sympathies. We were enriched by knowing her.

I was one of the youth Dixie mentored. She was such an inspiration to me. We had long talks and I knew she loved me. I wish I could be there to say goodbye and offer support to her family. I live in Milwaukee and can't make it out. But my Beehive leader will always be one my heroes. She was such an inspiration. I love you guy! Hang in there and take care. She is waiting for you!
Love, Shanna

We are so glad to have known Dixie. She brought light, laughter and love into our neighborhood. We will always remember the roadshows and her enthusiam for the actors to do their best. She was a great example to me and to our family.

Dixie was my wonderful Beehive advisor in the Draper 5th Ward. I remember so many lessons and activities with her that I have grown to appreciate more and more as I have become an adult. I still remember how she and Guy welcomed 10-15 12 and 13-year old girls to have slumber parties at their home. Those nights must have miserable for them, but we loved being there! I cherished for years dried olive leaves she shared from the Garden of Gethsemane, and a sketch of the Savior she made a gift to us.
I also participated in a session of a children's art class she taught when I was about 11 years old. I still remember all of the principles she taught me about drawing portraits and have shared them with my own children.
I observed her wonderful, loving example and great gifts in lifting those who were unreachable to many. What a marvelous lady she is! How thankful I am to have been blessed by her friendship.

Sandy Ashby Wight writes: If you go to the funeral give Nanette a hug from me. Nanette was my favorite young women's teacher of all time. Also, Rob was my age in school and we went to one of the school dances together.
I'm sad their mom has passed away. She was always a fun lady and a bit crazy. I bet her grand kids really loved her and lovded her unique personality.

I was sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I haven't seen her for many years but often tell of her teaching my Sunday School class and dressing me up in the "armor of God." My mom would always say it was a compliment that she would ask me to do it, because Dixie knew not all the kids in the class could handle it.
Love to all, Steve Ashby

I express my sympathy for those that knew Dixie. I hope you'll be comforted in knowing that she's in a better place and you'll see her again. I believe that to be true.
