Dixie grew up in Gifford, Mo. She was a graduate of LaPlata High School. She was the member of the First United Methodist Church of Excelsior Springs. All who had the honor to know Dixie were touched by her kindness, spiritedness and genuine love for others. She never knew a stranger. That love was most evident by how she cared for her children and grandchildren. She will be missed, but will always be in our hearts.
