Dixie enjoyed traveling throughout the country, and loved to camp with her daughter, Robin, and their dogs. She was both a Boy and Girl Scout volunteer for many years. Dixie also enjoyed doing crafts and embroidery, making many items for her family. She was a woman of faith, and looked forward to attending church every Sunday.

Dixie was preceded in death by her husband, George in 2010. She is survived by three children, Roger (Brenda), Robin (Sheldon) and Thomas (Ra'Nelle); seven grandchildren, Kyle, Kelsey (Jake), Keenen, Nathan (Olivia), Trevor (Cassandra), Nicole and Ruby; and three great-grandchildren, Evelyn, Herbert, and Adelaide.
