Dixon

Mary Lynn was born in Wilmington, N.C., in October of 1959 to Mary Louise Miller and the late Charlie E. Miller. She is survived by her husband of 28 years, Alan Dixon; two daughters, Renee and Nicole; her mother, Mary Louise Miller; sisters Barbara (Mike Abernathy), Margaret (Brook Lindbert), Joan (Steve Russell), Patricia (Bob Farmer); brothers Eddie, Michael (Kathy Miller), Charles (Gigi Miller) and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by two brothers, Bobby and Paul.

Mary Lynn symbolized her dedication to Jehovah God by water baptism and remained a faithful servant until her death. She heeded Jesus’ command to tell others about Jehovah God’s wonderful promises for the future, and she looked forward to the promise found at Psalms 37:29, “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” She died knowing that she was in Jehovah God’s memory and that a wonderful life in a paradise on earth awaited her in the future (Revelation 21:3-4).

Mary Lynn was a dedicated and loyal employee of the City of Suffolk for 20 years.

Mary Lynn greatly appreciated all of the people who touched her life over the years … her loving family, her many spiritual brothers and sisters, and also all of her neighbors, friends and caregivers.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, July 28, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at R.W. Baker & Co. Funeral Home & Crematory in Suffolk, Va.

A memorial service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1351 Whitemarsh Road, Suffolk, VA 23437 on Saturday, July 28 at 3 p.m., officiated by Mr. Robert Earl Coles III. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Heartland Hospice, 5029 Corporate Woods Drive, #200, Virginia Beach, VA 23462 or the charity of one’s choice.
