Sharon Dix Obituary
Sharon was born on June 1, 1939, in Hazelton, Iowa, the daughter of Marvin and Ingrid (Steen) Clark. She graduated from the Iowa State Teachers College and started teaching in Dike. She was united in marriage to Richard Dix on June 25, 1961 in Hazelton.
Together, Richard and Sharon farmed in rural Janesville, where they raised livestock, crop farmed and grew produce. Sharon enjoyed cooking for those that assisted with the farming and also helped on the farm when needed. Her lifelong love for chickens blossomed into a large operation where she raised thousands of chickens.
After Richard's passing, Sharon devoted her time to serving as a lay pastor for a group of churches in northeast Iowa. She was most recently lay pastor at Linden United Methodist Church in Waterloo
Sharon is survived by a son, William (Gerri) Dix of Shell Rock; two daughters, Melinda (Ed) Szynalski of Rochester and Michelle (Tony) Smith of Florida; eight grandchildren, Mary Szynalski and Katherine (Dominic) Dingmann; Michael, William, and Elizabeth Dix, and Eric, Noah, and Bennett Smith; and her nephew, Shannon Clark and niece, Stacie (Matt) Lewis. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and a brother.
