Dorothy ‘Dot’ Dixon
1921-2020
Dorothy «Dot» Dixon, age 98, of the Valley
View Villa, formerly of Piedmont, passed away Tuesday, August 4, 2020,
in the Villa. Born in Piedmont, she was a daughter of the late Thomas
Robert and Maggie Johanna (Cumming) MacIntosh. She was a member of St.
Paul’s Presbyterian Church, Merigomish. Dot was a fantastic
cook and loved to bake. No one ever left her house without at least
having a cup of tea and some delicious morsel. Quilting was also a
passion. Her eye for colour and composition turned out beautiful
handstitched works of art. Cribbage anyone? You had to be prepared to
lose if you challenged Dot to this game. She was also very well known
for her sharp wit and her great sense of humour. Dot and Eddie loved
to dance and what great dancers they were. If there was an
«old time» dance anywhere in the County, you can be
sure they were there. Dot was also quite a historian. Her knowledge
and memory of people, places and events in Piedmont and surrounding
areas were astounding. Dot was the last surviving member of her
immediate family. A heartfelt thank you to the staff of Valley View
Villa. Many of you have shared stories in the past of some of your
encounters with Dot. Those stories, as well as your everyday actions
and empathy, show how much you truly cared. She is survived by chosen
daughter, Janice Williams Cameron (John); numerous nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband, Edward; sisters: Christina Harrtz,
Frances Crockett, Louise Thompson, Catherine Williams, twin sister
Gertrude Sutherland; brothers: Charles and James. A private family
graveside service will take place in the Piedmont Cemetery. Donations
in her memory may be made to the Piedmont Cemetery Fund or the SPCA.
Arrangements are under the direction of R.H. Porter Funeral Home, New
Glasgow.
