We are sorry to hear of the loss of Dixie Price; however, we celebrate in the memories of her life. She made an impact on both of us over 50 years ago in Lawton, OK. She taught me in Vacation Bible School at First Presbyterian Church in Lawton when I was in the 8th grade and impacted my life for the Lord and she touched my husband's life when she dated his brother while in high school. She spread love and concern to others wherever she was. We both thought so much of her we named our first child Dixie after her. May you, her family, find comfort in the legacy of love & conern she left as she passed thru this life.
