“NeNe” was an active member of Zion Hill Baptist Church. There she served in various areas including worship leader. She loved singing praise and worship to her Savior. Her biggest accomplishment was making sure that her grandkids knew she was the sweetest “NeNe” in the world. Not only did the grands know it, EVERYONE knew it.

She loved to travel, the mountains and beach were her favorite. The mountains gave her beautiful sight seeing and shows at area theatres. The beach, though, the beach is where she showed the world her unmatched and most envied volleyball skills. She was always eager to get out in the yard with kids for a game of baseball, everyone always clambered to get “NeNe” on their team. Everyone that knew her, loved her. She was kind, loving and encouraging. She loved to laugh and when she did, it instantly made you laugh too. Her smile was beautiful: warm and genuine. If she was smiling, you were smiling with her because it made you feel happy.

“NeNe”, most importantly, loved her Savior. She lived each day glorifying Him in the way she walked and talked. If she wasn’t speaking of her Savior, she was singing about Him and His goodness. She was the mightiest of prayer warriors, you knew if she said, “I’m praying for you”, that she genuinely was and it was powerful. You could feel Him in the room when she spoke, it was a palpable and comforting feeling to be covered in her prayers. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her.

“NeNe” is preceded in death by her son, Danny Maurice Dixon, Jr. “Dandy”; her parents; brother, William Parker and wife, Carolyn; and brother-in-law, Armando Pegueros.
