"Whitney Anne Dixon-Mason died peacefully in her home on December 2, 2023 with her husband, mother and sister by her side. Born September 17, 1969 at Morristown Hamblen Hospital, she attended West Elementary, Meadowview and was a 1987 graduate of Morristown Hamblen High School East. Whitney was an undisputed sweetheart, a beloved friend to many, and always there when needed. Her strength was her spirited soul, she always approached life with steadfast loyalty, leaving a deep impact on many, while creating unbreakable bonds with those she held dear. Whitney\u0027s dependable nature made her an anchor in our lives and a constant source of support that we could always count on. To her close friends and family, truth was Whitney\u0027s ally; you could always rely on her quick wit to add flair to any conversation and you never had to wonder what she was thinking. Whitney\u0027s heart was truly good and her impact on others was profound. She was an animal advocate, a daughter, a sister, a partner and best friend; crossing the metaphorical rainbow bridge, her kind heart and gentle spirit will be deeply missed. If all dogs (and cats) go to Heaven, it's guaranteed she's sitting in the middle of all of them! She is preceded in death by her father Wayne Ashley Dixon, maternal grandparents Ralph and Anne Charles, paternal grandparents Elmer Dixon and Catherine Dixon, brother Joseph Dietz, and brother in law Shannon Mason. She leaves behind her husband and partner of 26 years Shane Mason, mother Dianne Charles Dietz, sister Allison(Randy)Giles, special niece and nephew Davy Anne and Dawson Ray, aunt Alice Westmoreland, aunt \u0026amp; uncle Janis and Richard Dixon, aunt \u0026amp; uncle Susie and Harlan Dixon, special cousin Erin Roth and her brother Jonathan Mays, her very best friends "The Crew': Kelly Monday, Tonia Hale, Connie Craig Carrol, Donna Adams, and Nikki Bise. In laws Barbara(Mark) Roach, Tammy(Chris)Nelson, Shawn(Tonnie)Mason, Casey(Jason)Garret, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and many more loving family and friends. She also was the proud Mama to 9 felines, all she considered children. Whitney\u0027s love and care for animals was obvious to all, always on a quest to find homes for the homeless furry companions. Her love and compassion extended beyond words, as she actively worked to make the world a better place for them. In Lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to: Morristown Hamblen Humane Society 5251 E Morris Blvd Russellville, TN 37860 Very special thanks to TN Cancer Specialists, Dr Sudi Doddabele, Caris Hospice, and Dr Andrew Kruer for their love and support. A graveside service will be held at Emma Jarnagin Cemetery Morristown December 7, 2023 @3pm. Whitney's favorite color was purple, and we would love to see as many attend in purple as possible to celebrate her life. "Show more
