Ina Mae Dixon Obituary (1934

Ina Mae Dixon, age 89, passed away June 11, 2023. She was born January 21, 1934, in Cardston, Alberta, Canada, and was the fourth child of Edward and Merelda Bennett Wolsey. When she was fourteen, she moved with her family to Provo, Utah. She attended Dixon Junior High and later attended Provo High School where she was an enthusiastic member of the cheer team. As luck would have it, she moved to the same neighborhood as the love of her life, a handsome boy by the name of Max Dixon. Max and Ina married on September 5, 1953. They were later sealed for time and eternity in the Provo Temple. Ina was a talented baker, artist, and seamstress. Many married couples celebrated their nuptials with a cake made and decorated by Ina. Her artistry included handmade porcelain dolls, each dressed in custom made clothing, Christmas windows painted with scenes reminiscent of the north pole, and prom dresses for four daughters that were the envy of all. But most treasured were the many quilts she made over the years, almost all of which were given to grateful family and friends. Creativity was the hallmark of all her endeavors. She cherished her relationships with people, and her love was returned. She was grateful for her neighbors who helped make it possible for her to live in her home until failing health made that impossible, particularly Sharon Giles and Terri Hudson and their families. She is survived by her children Lori Vuksinick (Tom), Bret Dixon (Patty), Stacy Dixon-Jones (Doug), twelve grandchildren, twenty-four great-grandchildren, and her sister Marlene Neilson (Don). She was predeceased by her husband, children Terri Dixon and Cindi Parmley, great-granddaughter Jadya Bryner, and siblings Ardell Wolsey, Betty Gregson, Wilma Nielsen, and Edward Wolsey. Graveside services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, June 16, 2023 at Eastlawn Memorial Hills Cemetery, 4800 North 650 East, Provo, Utah, under the direction of Berg Mortuary, Provo.
