In Loving Memory of Edna Dianne Dixon
Edna Dianne Dixon, of Niceville, FL, peacefully passed away on February 16, 2024, at the age of 75 after a courageous battle with cancer, with her son, who was her sole caregiver, by her side. She was born on February 21, 1948, to Elmer Boyington Sr. and Mary Casimira Wozniak,
Edna Dianne was a devoted wife to Henry James Dixon, whom she married on June 6, 1964. They spent over 20 years traveling the country while he served in the United States Air Force, eventually retiring in Niceville, FL, where Edna has lived for the past 40 years.
Edna Dianne was an active member of the local Boy Scouts of America, leaving a lasting impact on many lives. Her love for gardening was evident to all who knew her, as her green thumb turned her garden into a colorful haven admired by neighbors and passersby who would stop by often.
Edna Dianne is survived by her daughter Darlene Taylor (and her husband, Daniel), son John Dixon, grandchildren Kayla Law (and her husband David) and Jesse Taylor, and great-grandchildren Liam and Jamie Law. She is also survived by her sister Ellen Jane Taylor and numerous nieces and nephews.
Edna Dianne was preceded in death by her husband Henry James Dixon, parents Elmer Boyington Sr. and Mary Casimira Wozniak, and siblings Elmer Boyington Jr, Joseph Boyington, James Boyington, and Agnus Susan Boyington.
A simple and loving woman, Edna Dianne will be remembered for her warmth, dedication to family, and the impact she made in her community. May she rest in peace.
