Alma was a humble woman that loved her family unselfishly, providing for them and their needs before her own. She especially loved to cook for them and anyone that would sit at her table. She had a “green thumb” and loved working in her yard and garden, tending her flowers. She did public work until she was 75 years old and enjoyed it immensely.
Dunn Funeral Home of Benson is honored to serve the family of Alma W. Dixon.
