It is with great sadness that the family of Betty Dixon of Riverview announce her passing on Sunday, March 31, 2024, at The Briarlea. Born in Dawson Settlement, she was the daughter of the late Jack and Mabel (Carpenter) Jonah.
Betty will be dearly missed by daughters Becky Hink (Dan), Gwen Dixon (Jim Potts), son Jeffrey Dixon (Nancy); grandchildren Stephanie Linnard (William) and Ian Hink; sister Sandra Atkinson, nieces Lisa, Charlene, Heather, Heidi, and Krista, nephews Darrin, Peter and Andrew; and her two great grandchildren, Eddie and George Linnard. Aside from her parents, she was predeceased by her husband Howard Dixon, and her sisters Norma, and Pauline.
Betty remarked recently that her life had been so full that it felt as if she had two lives. Betty loved to travel. She travelled to Europe three times, and across Canada several times, once with a tent trailer in tow. There were also many trips to British Columbia and Alberta to visit her daughters and grandchildren. Betty worked at Eaton’s, married after high school, raised three children, returned to school at Oulton’s Business College later in life. She had an antique business in partnership with Betty Plant and worked as a bookkeeper at her husband’s engineering firm. Betty volunteered with the YWCA and the Albert County Historical Society. Betty loved to play golf, travel with close friends (especially the "Betty’s" and Sylvia), to collect antiques, and to play bridge. She was a member of the Gunningsville Baptist Church.
Betty’s family extend a most sincere thank you to the staff and management of The Briarlea for their incredible care and love for Betty and her family.
Honoring Betty’s wishes there will be no visitation or service. Her interment will take place at the Dawson Settlement (Jonah) Cemetery. Her arrangements have been entrusted to Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Road, Riverview (506-869-2007). Donations made to Albert County Food bank, the Gunningsville Baptist Church, Dawson Settlement Baptist Church, or to the charity of your choice, would be greatly appreciated by her family.
