DIXON, Edna Elizabeth Edna Dickie Dixon was born October 31, 1917. She passed away March 29, 2012 at the Craik Health Centre where she had resided for six years. She was predeceased by her parents, John and Matilda; sisters Violet, Edith and Alice; brothers Ernest, Clayton and Stewart; brother-in-law Glenn Ross and sister-in-law Edith Dixon. She is survived by daughter Cathy (Bill Joplin) and family, sister Laura and brother Bob (Pauline); as well as several nieces and nephews and their families. Edna received her education at Erie School and upon completion she worked for several area families and one year for an American dog trainer, Mr. Redman. In 1941 she became a waitress with the family owned Wares Cafe. Later for a number of other proprietors in what became known as the Craik Cafe. She returned home to help her mom in the late 50's and remained there until entering the health centre. The last 33 years, before entering the health centre, she spent alone with her black labs. She spent many happy hours with them, wandering the hills and fields around home, her picking flowers and plants which she would press and dry and make into beautiful cards and note paper. What she did she did with great pride, be it the cards, embroidery, sewing or washing and ironing, even if it was the boys work clothes. We would like to sincerely thank and will be ever grateful to neighbors, friends and family for all their help, which allowed her to remain where she loved to be, the family farm. The graveside funeral service will be held at Craik Cemetery on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. with Worship Leader Hilda Dale officiating.
