Irene J. Dixon

KINGSBURY – Irene J. Dixon, 96, passed away Sunday, Oct. 14th, 2018, at home, with her family at her side.

She was born September 26, 1922, in Glens Falls, the daughter of Charles H. and Josephine (Newton) Dixon of Kingsbury. Irene was a life-long member of the historic Kingsbury Baptist Church, where she served in many capacities throughout her life.

For several years she worked at the Montgomery Ward store on Glen Street. Later she moved on to Triangle Shoes, where she was assistant manager.

Irene kept journals all her life, detailing her activities, thoughts, and the weather. She enjoyed flower gardening, baking, bird-watching, and word search puzzles. From 7 to 8 p.m., you could find her watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Dancing with the Stars was also a great favorite.

Her three nieces fondly remember the fun they had when, as children, they would “raid” her room to play dress up — she had the best jewelry, gloves, hats, and pocketbooks!

Irene was pre-deceased by her parents and her oldest sister, Dorothy (Mrs. Charles) Fitzgerald.

She is survived by her sister, Frances (Mrs. Lem) Pringle of Kingsbury, her nephew Larry Pringle and his wife Danusia of Mass., her nieces Cynthia (Pringle) Rawls and her husband Bennie of Hudson Falls, JoAnn (Fitzgerald) Cummings of South Glens Falls, Sheila (Fitzgerald) Red of Denver, CO, several great-nieces and great-nephews, and her great-great niece, Gael Red-Swanson of Colorado.

Calling hours for family and friends are from 3-6 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 17^th‘ at the Carleton Funeral Home in Hudson Falls.

Services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 18^th, at the funeral home. Interment will follow at Moss Street Cemetery.

We are so grateful to the Karen Millington Agency for their devoted and loving care of our Sister and Aunt.

Donations in Irene’s name can be made to the Kingsbury Baptist Church, C/O Sylvia Weaver, 153 Dean Road, Hudson Falls, NY 12839.
