Curtis and Dixie met at a Friday night Institute dance. They fell instantly in love and were married 3 months later. This July will mark 35 years of marriage. She loved to go for walks and hold the hand of her husband. There was never a lack of love shared between the two lovebirds. Dixie's greatest desire in life was to be a mom. After learning she couldn't have children of her own, Dixie turned to adoption. Curtis and Dixie adopted three beautiful children. Her life was devoted to her children even though she was always in pain. She loved to visit with her son Brandon, go to Aubrey's concerts and plays, and cheer Heather on at her softball games. One of her favorite things to do with her family was play games. Her smile and joy radiated from her every action. Dixie is a published author of a book called "All I Ever Wanted" and multiple poems. Dixie is a great example of Christ-like love through serving others. Some of her service was in leadership callings for the LDS church. She impacted and changed the lives of everyone she met through her many acts of service. In the last few years of her life, her greatest regret was not having the ability to more actively serve her family and the people around her. Dixie lived a life of love, compassion, charity, humility, and service. She will be missed by all, but we know we will see her again. The children and I love you. Till we meet again my beautiful wife and our loving mother.
