Emily Victoria Dlxon
Emily Victoria Dixon, 85, died on Jan. 10,2020, in her
hometown of Mocksville.
Her life was as colorful and vibrant as the rose gardens
I she nurtured. She not only nurturedS roses, but the people who would fill
her life. She was bom on May 12,
1934, in Mocksville, the only child
raised in the smarriage of Robert
McCullough of Winston-Salem
(stepfather) and Dorothy Morgan
of Mocksville. She was baptized
in the Christian faith. She grew up
enjoying the wide open fields of
her hometown and attracted many
j n friends like Mary Mclver, Clessie
Ij.' Coles, Ms. Lillian, and Ms. Evelyn
^^. It was these formative years that
helped to influence her love and care of rose gardens, as
well as an appreciation of lifelong friendships.
In 1952, she graduated from Davie County Schools and
pursued a profession that would set her path on a life Jour
ney of caring for others for more than four decades. She
moved to Buffalo, N.Y. where she became a nurse and re
tired from Buffalo General Hospital. After retirement, she
began caring for children in her home in Buffalo. When
she first travelled to Buffalo she met John E. Dixon and
married. From that union came two children, John Edward
Dixon Jr. and Donna Lynn Dixon. She was a devoted and
caring mother who always wanted the best for her children.
Throughout the years, she would give them nuggets of ad
vice and would often say, "You better listen to me. Every
thing I say comes to light." She was proud of her children's
accomplishments, and as they grew older, she would visit
John in Miami, Fla. - once experiencing a hurricane that
caused her and her loved ones to huddle together over sev
eral days. She married a second time to Sam Hines and
after his death found herself spending years creating mem
orable moments with her partner, Eddie Hamilton.
She was strong-willed yet had a magnetic personality
that attracted lots of people and lexciting times. She loved
to laugh and enjoyed parties, card games and other games

26,2020.
Bom Nov. 20,1939 in Louisville, Ky., she was a loving
mom, sister, aunt, mother-in-law, grandma and friend to
many. Her energetic spirit and lust for life was inspiration
al. In her early years, she worked at Brown & William
son Tobacco Co. in Louisville, and retired in 1991 after
34 years. Although her work accomplishments are many,
it's the way in which she ap-Bproached her life, her love of
travel and adventure, her help
ing hand and volunteer, work,
and her positive outlook for
which she will be remembered.
Her life was a living example of
leaving no stone left untumed
and living to the fullest. Her
feet were moving as her love
for clogging and dancing kept
her going. She was adventur
ous as she traveled the world,
was up for, any road trip, no
matter the distance, and could
find gratitude by a walk on the
beach, a hike in the mountains,
or a bike ride in the neighbor
hood. She loved keeping her mind sharp by reading books,
working crossword and sudoku puzzles, and was a master
at trivia games (especially with a glass of wine). Her smile
was infectious, her demeanor an inspiration, and her ener
gy will leave a lasting memory. She was an integral part
of everyday moments with her family as well as holidays,
vacations, field trips, sports activities, weekend getaways,
dinners, you name it. If the Gamers were doing anything
or going anywhere, Grandma/Mom was right there with a
smile.
Survivors: sisters. Rose Dobson (Jim), Merle Miller
and Darlene Vest (Mike); brother, Fred Miracle; daughter,
Christy Canary Garner and son-in-law Rusty Gamer, and
granddaughters Grace and Emily Gamer; and many niec
es, nephews, friends and neighbors.
