Dixie’s family often referred to her as “The Old Lady Who Lived in the Shoe” because she always cared for the children around her.  She was a loving, and caring mother, grandma, friend, and sister.  Dixie always welcomed anyone who entered her door, often allowing them to lay their head down in a safe place and have a meal at her table.  She never asked questions...she only provided love. Dixie's laugh will always be remembered.

Dixie was a Native American of the of the Deer Clain of the Euchee (Yuchi) Tribe, who settled in the Polecat Ceremonial Grounds.  She was very proud of her Native American Culture and History; she was a great educator to her children and grandchildren of their native history and culture.  When her children were young they often attended Pow Wows and Stomp Dances of which she continued to attend.  Dixie also enjoyed listening to country music, but one thing she couldn’t do was sing.
