Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The following message was posted today on Dixie's page by her family. Please keep them all in prayer as they go through the days and weeks ahead. Our Dixie was a unique, loving, and wonderful friend and colleague and she will be missed. But I know how her heart was still broken over the loss of the love of her life, Bob, last August. That precious lady is finally at peace and joined together her Savior and with Bob. From her family"

Dixie was a joyful Wife, Mother, and Grandmother, beloved by all who knew her.
There will be a celebration of her life held in Rescue, California, at a date soon to be announced 💔"
