Barbara J. Dixon

Most of all, she was an amazing daughter, mother, sister, aunt, friend and confidant. Everyone has always been able to find refuge in her home, clothes for their backs, and food for their stomachs. After retiring early from her work in pharmaceutical insurance she became a crochet instructor and produced some amazing dresses, blankets, and booties of which many still cherish.

Barbara was a movie and TV buff. She loved watching Blue Bloods, The Closer, and anything Steven Seagal, Tom Selleck and Bruce Willis.
