Dixie was a faithful Christian, Bible School teacher, and wife of an Elder of the church. She loved to entertain, and her parties were always the hottest ticket in town with an open table policy. Dixie loved to sing with her family. She was a lifetime member and past president of the PTA. Dixie was always winning something, was very competitive, outgoing for her children, was a good cook, and loved to feed anyone around. Her over-the-top approach to life aided her in her many school carnival booth wins. She was a talented seamstress with many outstanding costumes to her credit including making the mascot for Gulf State Utility. Dixie never met a stranger and was always there with a kind word. She will be deeply missed and well-remembered.

We as many others will miss her smile and hugs.
God comfort Clarence, Pat, Sandra and the extended family.
Never formally met you or your wife Dixie, we’ve also been neighbors of such for years. Always walking my two furbabies when you pass and we acknowledge by waving.
I’m so sorry to hear of you losing your precious wife. I never knew she was sick until I talked w/Richard, my next door neighbor. James and I sending our sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your wife. We will keep you in our prayers at this difficult time.
James & Eileen Tindall
Even though I didn’t know her, I knew who she was, having known Clarence for years living just three houses from one another. All I know is that they were good people. I pray the Lord will give Clarence strength and wisdom to get through the things he is facing. I’m thankful Dixie isn’t suffering any more. God bless all the family. Richard Barrett
