Dixie was born in Jenkins, Kentucky and had a love for Appalachian cooking in her cast iron skillet and sharing stories and photos from Kentucky. She was an avid family historian and spent many years meticulously documenting her family roots to the 1600s.

After retiring in 2012, she filled her time with many hobbies and interests although spending time with friends and family is what she enjoyed most. She was a skilled gardener. She had an eye for beauty and this was evident in her picturesque perennial gardens which were enjoyed by all. She was also an avid reader and involved in many book clubs throughout the years.
