Dixie H. Wilson, 101, of Hot Springs, Arkansas, formerly of Stamps, received her resurrection birth April 11, 2017 in Hot Springs.
She began her earthly journey July 21, 1915, in Bradley, Arkansas, the daughter of David Dickson Hamiter and Aletha Barker Hamiter. She received her primary and secondary education in Bradley and was a graduate of what is presently Texas A & M at Commerce, formerly East Texas State University.
In 1939, while teaching at Bearden, Arkansas, she met and married Irvin Wilson, a coach in the same school system. Soon after marriage, they moved to Texas where both were involved in education. In 1967, they returned to Arkansas and lived in Stamps. Irvin Wilson died in 1984.
Vocationally, she was a first and second grade school teacher, a vocation she enjoyed in Texas and Arkansas. She was also a lifelong United Methodist who took her faith seriously and inspired countless persons.
In September 2006 she moved to Hot Springs and lived at Country Club Village. She enjoyed playing various card games with friends. Soon after moving, she joined First United Methodist Church in Hot Springs and remained a member there until her death. In early 2016, she moved to Garrett Woods, an assisted living facility, in Hot Springs.
Dixie H. Wilson was predeceased by her parents; husband; a son, Neal Edwin Wilson; a grandson, Colby Lee Wilson; and siblings, Alita Dickerson, Hortense Cochran, Annie Gonzales, David Dickson Hamiter, Jr., John Garland Hamiter, Ernest Jewel Hamiter, and several nieces and nephews.
