Yonnie was the oldest child of a large and loving family. From a very young age she loved and served the Lord. She graduated from Lufkin High School and in June 1950 married Jack Dixon. She was secretary in his business for many years until Mr. Dixon’s passing in 1990. After that Yonnie served as librarian at Central Jr. High and secretary at Clawson Assembly of God.

Yonnie was a prayer warrior and if anyone in the family had a need, they knew who to call for prayer. Over the years she had taught Sunday School, Bible studies and Women’s Ministries.

Yonnie was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Other than Jesus, nothing was more important to her than home and family.
