As a little girl I remember her working at Hansen's grocery store where my mom shopped. She will be missed by many.
Dear Kathy and Kyle,
We were very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother and grandmother. She looks like she was a special lady who will be missed by a lot of people. You have our deepest sympathy.
Dixie has always been the personification of Lakeview. I will always remember her as kind, caring, and fun-loving. She always had a smile for me along with positive words of greeting. Even though I
have been gone from Lakeview for over 40 years, she always remembered me and made me feel special whenever our paths crossed. I trust you all will have a lifetime of positive memories to sustain you
until you see her again.
Dixie has left me with so many great memories. I love that my kids called her Grandma Dixie, all of the golf outings (I remember the "pink") and her love for family and friends. I feel so lucky to
say I knew this great lady and her amazing family. Cliff has his sidekick back with him. Nancy, Randy, & kids please know I am thinking of you.
Dixie was my Mom's high school friend, and I also had the privilege of working with Dixie at Leppink's. She was a beautiful, happy person who always went out of her way to listen, and would always
leave you with a smile after every conversation. My condolences to the family, I am sorry for your loss.
Dixie was such a strong- link in the Abbey family! She kept the family reunion's going , as long as she was able...alway's let us know of family passing's. She could weather any storm & come back
fighting! Unconditional Love !! RIP
Dixie will be missed. Especially when I came to the Terrace we would have a great visit. She was always so kind to my dad Les Johnson who lives at the Terrace. Love and prayers.
God be with you at this time..I loved your mom and dad ..peace be with all of you
God has an Angel now-Dixie was always full of laughs.
I just found this and am so sorry to hear. My Love and Prayers are with you.
