Linda was an accomplished pianist and loved serving the Lord with her gift and talent by playing the hymns of the church. If you were to ask Linda, her greatest legacy is her beloved four daughters Jody, Janice, Jayne and Jinger. To know Linda was to know Christmas was her favorite holiday. She loved rotating from each of her daughter's family Christmas Celebrations and kept the season alive by listening to its music year around. Linda loved going camping with her close friends and the highlight of the camping season was when they traveled to Branson, MO, where they meet up and spend time with her sister Becky and husband Bob. Linda counted her life as blessed beyond measure in being "Granny" to 13 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren, and "Aunt Linda" to one niece and nephew. She will be greatly missed but memory and legacy of faith will live on for generations to come.

Duane Dixon

Age - 77

West Des Moines, Duane Allen Dixon died at home with his wife at his side on November 1, 2023. Duane was an only child born in Centerville, Iowa, to Max and Vera Mae Mitchell Dixon on June 18, 1946. He was an inquisitive child who due to hearing problems that started when he was very young missed out on a lot of things others absorbed normally. As a young adult he was able to have cochlear implants which were a great help to him. Duane graduated from Centerville High School and then attended a trade school for welding. His father had a welding shop in Centerville and after finishing trade school he worked with him. Unfortunately, Max met with a fatal accident when a gas tank he was mending blew up and he had burns over about 80% of his body. After a few days he was transferred from the Centerville Hospital to Iowa Methodist Hospital where he died in 1968. Duane eventually went to work for Housby Mack Trucks for about 15 years. After trying a couple of other jobs, he started Ad-Mor Remodelers, Inc in Des Moines, Ia. , until his hearing disability made it difficult for him to continue working and he retired with disability. On July 4, 1975, he married Fredrika (Rikki) Johnson Stanley at the Northwest Community of Christ Church. With the marriage came two children, Jennifer and Michael, whom he adopted. The family grew with the births of 8 grandchildren, Evan, Sydney, Elizabeth, Savannah, Christopher, Joshua, Vincent and Maxwell. The addition of 2 great-grandsons, Amari and Michael Wayne was a delight to him. Other survivors include aunts, uncles, cousins and many dear friends. He was predeceased in death by his parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. In Lieu of flowers the family would appreciate a donation to the Northwest Community of Christ Church.
