Dorothy Dixon was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on February 5, 1923 to the late Dawson and Rosa McCullough.  Over the span of 96 years, Dorothy saw The Great Depression, World War II, moon landings, and the entirety of the civil rights movement.

Dorothy received her Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh. She spent most of her working years as a social worker in the State of Pennsylvania. Upon moving to Florida, she was a volunteer for Broward County Public Schools and was recognized as a Volunteer of The Year for her selfless commitment to at-risk youth.

Dorothy was one of the founding members of the Ebony Culture Club at Century Village, where she resided for over 25 years. She was an avid sports fan. She loved her Pittsburgh Steelers, loved the Miami Heat, tolerated the Dolphins, and played a pretty mean game of Bridge.

She traveled extensively throughout the world, she loved, she lived and despite suffering the ups and downs of life that we all experience, had very little, if any regrets.

Dorothy was married 52 years to Andrew L. Dixon. From that union there were three children: Andrew L. Dixon Jr., Diane Dixon Eddins-Bryant and Dennis Reginald Dixon.

Dorothy went home to the Lord on August 5^th, 2019. She is supremely missed by her family including, her brother, Roland McCullough, 6 grandchildren: Andrew Dixon III, Chad Dixon, Lewis Ellis, Stephanie Eddins, Erica Dixon, Darren Dixon, many great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, her church family and numerous friends.

Dorothy has left us, yet she will always be with us in our lives and in our hearts. She lived with grace and class and she left us in the same manner. 

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Her mission is over

She has faced the test

Her task is finished

She now takes her rest

She has now reported

To her Commander Supreme

Her duties are over and

Her slate is wiped clean

The rewards of her life

Are unknown to we few

So we will just say

That her mission is through.

Visitation to be held on Friday, August 9, 2019 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Boyd-Panciera Family Funeral Care, University Drive Chapel.
