Mrs. Dixon was employed as an Accounting Manager by the University Hospital in Augusta, GA, for 10 years. When she and her husband started a family, Mrs. Dixon decided to put her family before her career, so she stayed home to raise her sons and make a home for her beloved family.

In the last few years, she enjoyed container gardening, and sharing the fruits of her labor with friends and neighbors. According to her grandchildren, with whom she shared a special bond, she was the best cook around.
