In lieu of Flowers, it would be Dixie's wish to have donations made to Warrington Baptist Church, Pensacola, Florida, or, as a trained dental technician who always had a soft place in her heart for children with dental problems, to have donations made to Operation Smile, which can be reached on line at www.operationsmile.org or by phone at 888-677-6453 or by mail at 6435 Tidewater Drive, Norfolk, VA 23509 U.S.A.Express your condolences in our guestbook at pnj.com/obits
