Barbara J. Dixon

Barb was employed with the former Kellermeyer Company as the Vice President of Administration. She was very active at St. Patrick of Heatherdowns Church, especially with the St. Vincent de Paul Society.

In addition to her parents, Barb was also preceded in death by her husband, David Dixon; sister, Ruth Allen and infant son. She is survived by her loving daughters, Diana (Paul) Kemp and Susan (Dan Schatzinger) Novins; grandchildren, Brad (Bryan) Crowley, Breanna (Todd) Snyder, Sara (Stephen) Brewer, Bryan Gray, Jr., Scott Gray, Alexis Kemp and Ethan Kemp; great-grandchildren, Todd Snyder, Jr., Gabriel, Remington and Memphis Brewer; sisters, Helen (Paul) Raczkowski and Mary (Roger) Krueger; special friend, Mike Lipinski and canine companion, "Bentley."
