  3. Eddie and family, we are so deeply saddened by Dixie’s passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

  4. Thanks for the memories, Dixie! You were always one of my classmates that my mother, Reva Whittington Hawk, invited to my primary grade birthday parties. You were always so gracious, kind, sweet, and caring. I have always remembered you as a CHS Rose among many classmate thorns like me! God Bless your family and may He bring His comfort and confidence to all grieving hearts now and until we are once again reunited in the presence of our Savior and Lord, Yeshua Ha’ Meshia.

  5. Dixie and I were in Junior High and High School together in the class of 1958. Dixie was always such a pleasure to be around. It was always a pleasure to run into her from time to time. She will be sadly missed by all. My thoughts and prayers go to you her family.

  6. As a member of the CHS Class of 1958 i looked forward to your wonderful smile as we passed in the hall. God Bleass you and your family!
