: Katherine Jean (nee Glendenning) Jones Dixon
On March 18th, 1938, Kathy entered the world at Mass General Hospital, Boston, MA. Kathy was a bright, self-sufficient woman. Kathy graduated from Wakefield High School. She wanted to be a nurse and to teach. Kathy graduated from Mass General School of Nursing, then went on to McGill University in Montreal for her advanced degree in nursing. Kathy taught nursing at the Malden, MA hospital. She married Warren Jones in 1960. Kathy and Warren moved to New York City and had two sons. Later, they called Huntington Bay LI and Southport, CT home. It was in Southport where Kathy decided to change careers and became one of Bill Raveis' (William Raveis Real Estate) first agents, and not too long after, one of the top realtors in the state. Her husband, Warren, was tragically killed in an automobile accident in 1992. In 1995, Kathy married John W Dixon in Stuart, FL. They have been residents in the Stuart/Palm City, FL area ever since. They also have a summer home in Lord's Point, Stonington, Connecticut. She is survived by her husband, John, and two sons, Craig A Jones - and the lights of her life, her grandchildren, Warren Q. Jones and Aryn T. Jones. Also surviving is her younger son David C Jones, of State College, PA and Boston, MA, and his significant other, Marilyn Mitchell. There will be no memorial services for Kathy at this time. She will be cremated and placed in the Dixon family plot in Pendleton, SC. Kathy was a happy and energetic person who was always willing to help when she saw a need. The deed was its own reward. Kathy endured MS for over 20 years, but that didn't daunt her, she ultimately died from breast cancer. Nothing stopped her when she set a goal. Kathy was proud to be a nurse, a mother, and a grandmother. She will be missed by all who knew her caring and positive personality.
