Woodie Mitchel Dixon

Woodie Mitchel Dixon, age 72, passed away August 1, 2024. He enjoyed bar-b-qing, playing softball, and ONLY spending time with his grandsons. This includes picking weeds and any other thing they wanted to do. He and Margaret met at the horse shows in 1971 where they participated in the categories of timed events, halter, and roping. He was employed for 52 years as an inside machinist at Southern Fastner and Parkway Machine and Metal Works.
