Many will remember Mrs. Hixon for her years of volunteer work with the Richland Parish Hospital Gift Shop and The Care and Share. Others will remember her for work with the First Baptist Church and Eastern Star. And still others will know her as the young girl who shared her allowance during the Great Depression. Her laugh is one that will resonate in the hearts of all who knew her.
