Once retired Dixie moved to Ochelata for five years before moving north just across the state line and settling in Caney for the past 15 years.

She loved arts and crafts and Dixie had a whole room dedicated to it in her home. She crocheted, sewed and crafted, creating afghans and unique handicrafts to give to family and friends.
