The Berrien Press - February 25, 2015
  Marian Hance Dixon, 75, of Alapaha died Sunday, February 22, 2015, at her home 
surrounded by her loving family.
 She was born July 9, 1939, in Slater, FL to the late Elmer and Ruth Miriam 
Poppell Hance. She was a homemaker, was employed with The Berrien Press for 25 
years as copy editor, and was a member of Alapaha United Methodist Church. She 
was very instrumental in the Annual Alapaha Easter Passion Play, having served 
as director for over 20 years, and was also involved with the Alapaha Station 
Celebration committee since 1981. Through her church, she became very involved 
in local and foreign missions and hosted countless missionaries in her home over 
the years. She worked to reach across denominational lines to involve all local 
church people together in her productions including Christmas at the Depot. She 
had a tremendous love for her family, her church, and her community, but most of 
all for her faith, which she continued to share even in her final days.
 She is survived by her husband, Joe Dixon of Alapaha; daughter, Debra (Britt) 
Dobbs of Warner Robins; three sons, Dr. Matt (Jenna) Dixon of Perry, and John 
(Robin) Dixon and Joel (Genia) Dixon, both of Alapaha; sister, Delia (Billy) 
Poston of Quincy, FL; 13 grandchildren, Drew, David, Aaron Dobbs, Lane, Clay, 
Lindsay Dobbs, Carmen, Caleb, Joleigh, Cavin, Holt, Alli and Samuel.
 Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, February 25 at 11 a.m. at Alapaha 
Baptist Church with the Rev. Larry Hauser, Rev. Robbie Rowe and Rev. Mike Gibbs 
officiating.
 Interment will follow in Fletcher Cemetery.
 Visitation is Tuesday, Feb. 24 from 5-8 at Alapaha United Methodist Church. In 
lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Alapaha 
United Methodist Church Altar Fund in honor of Marian Dixon to support local and 
foreign missions. Address to AUMC Altar Fund: Attention Carla Gudal Parrish, 
P.O. Box 288, Alapaha, GA 3622.
 Lovein Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
