I’m so sad to see this. What a precious, selfless, joyful soul. If someone didn’t like Dixie Fulton, they had to be the worst person on earth because she was dear to everyone who met her.
Danny and Stephanie, I love y’all and my heart is heavy for you and your family.
Dixie was gem ! Priceless! I have known her since Jr. High School. She will be missed by everyone who she knew in her time on earth. Praying for her family for comfort.
I so loved and admired Dixie as I volunteered under her supervision as a financial coach these past 11 years. She made me feel needed and appreciated. Yet, she was the one who deserved all the accolades for the remarkable Financial Skills program we now have in place. Her work and sacrifice is beyond value. John 15:
Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his
life for his friends.
God bless your sweet family. Patricia Everett
