OBITUARY

Roanoke Times; 21 and 22 March 2011

Thomas Henry (Tom) Dixon, of Roanoke, passed away at home Saturday, March 19, 2011, at the age of 93.

He was born in Rockbridge County, graduated from Parry McClure High School, received his bachelor's degree from Washington and Lee University, and obtained a master's degree from the University of Virginia. He started a career in education, which was interrupted by a tour in the United States Army, returning to teaching for about 38 years, one year at William Byrd High School and the remaining years at William Fleming as a teacher and dean of Camper Hall.

Tom was an avid gardener, amateur meteorologist, loved to read, and was always interested in science of any type. He also loved to dance whether it was square dancing, round dancing, line dancing, or ballroom dancing. He was a member of Northminster Presbyterian Church, serving as an elder, teacher of the Logan Bible Class for 47 years, and occasionally as a lay minister.

He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Betty Laird Dixon; daughters, Diane Brammer and husband, Bobby, of Roanoke, Mary Lynn Smith and husband, Roger, of Fort Myers, Fla.; four grandchildren, Kris Brammer, of Southern Pines, N.C., Holly and Andy Smith, of Orlando, Fla., Keith Brammer and wife, Lindsey, of Huntersville, N.C.; and stepgrandson, Steve Brammer and wife, Debbie, of Roanoke.

The family would like to thank all the nurses and support staff of Good Samaritan Hospice, especially Aretha, for their care and attention the last few months.

The family will receive friends after the service, which will be held 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 22, 2011, at Northminster Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Todd Hester officiating. Graveside services will be held at New Monmouth Presbyterian Church in Kerrs Creek, Rockbridge County at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Northminster Presbyterian Church, 3911 Greenland Ave., Roanoke, VA 24012; Presbyterian Community Center, 1227 Jamison Ave., Roanoke, VA 24013; or Good Samaritan Hospice, 2408 Electric Rd., Roanoke, VA 24018.
