Dixie Lee Reynolds Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Dixie Lee Reynolds, 91, of Copan, Oklahoma, died Monday in Bartlesville. Dixie was born the daughter of Claude and Leonna (Essley) Brown on September 25, 1930, in San Francisco, California. SF was always her favorite place to live and remained dear to her heart. Dixie was the oldest of five siblings and being the oldest she had more responsibility looking after her younger siblings while her mother worked. Dixie raised her five children mostly in San Francisco, though the family did move to Girard, Kansas, for a few years where they operated dog kennels, raising and training bird dogs and greyhounds. Dixie’s career spanned many years and she was most proud of her work at Pacific Bell in San Francisco and MID in Modesto, CA. After the death of beloved husband Ray Delmas she moved to Idaho to be near her sons William (Bill) and Raymond Brower. This included care for Raymond who had health problems. Bill and wife Carol assisted her in the purchase of a home which she had for over 13 years. In Idaho she met and married Henry Reynolds. Upon Henry’s death, she moved to Ohio to be near her son Wade. When Wade and Jeanette decided to move to Tennessee, she moved to Copan temporarily till living quarters in Tennessee were ready. Dixie was loved by all of us and her family was everything to her. Dixie loved the Lord and served Him in the various ministries of the church, especially as a Sunday School teacher focusing on children’s ministry. A special trip to the Holy Land was a highlight in her Christian faith. She sought to love all of God’s children and spent time crocheting baby blankets to give away. Dixie was also talented in the kitchen and always ready to welcome someone in for a bite (or two or three) to eat. She definitely lived up to her nickname, although she didn’t quite like it in later years. We love you, mom. Dixie is survived by a brother Dick Brown, her children, Rick (Ann) Brower, William (Carol) Brower, Gail (Phil) Kruis and Wade (Jeanette) Brower; 18 grandchildren, Robin, Chris, Carrie, Shelly, James, Angie, Lori, John, Alicia, Rebekah, Lacie, Andrew, Tiffany, Stacey, Dustin and Desirae; and numerous great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, husbands, siblings Dolly, Carol and Claudia, son Raymond Brower, daughter in law, Diane Brower, grandsons Jason Brower, Seth Heffron, and great grandson Daylon Sleight. Services will be held 10 a.m. on Friday, August 5, at the Davis Family Funeral Home - Dewey Chapel, with her son Pastor Wade Brower officiating. Services are under the direction of Carter Davis and the Davis Family Funeral Home – Dewey Chapel. Online condolences and remembrances may be shared at www.DavisFamilyFuneralHome.com.
