LYNDONVILLE – Annette M. Dix, 81, of Lyndonville, NY, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 11, 2024, at home surrounded by her loving family.

Born on November 3, 1942, in Medina, NY, she was the daughter of the late Bernard and Dorothy (Davis) Allen.

Annette, also known as Annie and Nettie to her friends, graduated from Lyndonville Central School in 1960. She was a proud Lyndonville Tiger Cheerleader. On September 24, 1960 she married David Dix, also of Lyndonville. Together they raised four children, Dawn, Kelly, David Jr., and Derek. Annette was a very busy stay-at-home mom when the kids were young and she spent years teaching them by example how to be good people. As the kids got older, Annette went to work at Meland’s Home Furnishings as a Sales Clerk, and later worked as a clerk for Provisions Pharmacy, both in Lyndonville. Annette was instrumental in organizing the sports boosters in Lyndonville and served as a Cub Scout Den Mother and a Brownie Scout Leader. She belonged to St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church in Lyndonville where she volunteered with the Rosary and Altar Society. Annette did her duty as a good citizen and member of the community by working at the elections. She taught her children to have respect and a sense of responsibility for family members, friends, community, and perhaps most importantly, themselves. Annette loved to sing, dance, and play cards and board games, and she instilled a love of those things in her kids. Annette always supported her children in their endeavors and adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Annette is preceded in death by her parents Bernard and Dorothy Allen, father- and mother-in-law Robert and Ethel Dix, and brothers Richard and Robert Allen. She is survived by her loving husband David; sister Debbie (Jeff) Jackson, four children, Dawn (Steve) Fraser, Kelly Dix (Greg Weier), David (Erica) Dix, Jr., and Derek (Vickie) Dix, Sr., grandchildren, Daniel Fraser, Hollie Fraser, Derek Dix, Jr., Alexa Dix, Andrew Dix, Cali Pietroboni, Connor Bell, Mel Eggleston, Cameryn Keesler, and Chase Hartnett, several great grandchildren, and many beloved nieces and nephews.

The entire family would like to express sincere gratitude to the entire staff of Hospice of Orleans, especially Jennelle Andrews who provided excellent care and guidance during difficult times.

Family and friends may call on Thursday, February 15, 2024, from 2-4 PM and 7-9 PM at the Bogan & Tuttle Funeral Home, 226 Pearl St. Medina, NY 14103, where a funeral service will be held Friday at 11:00 AM. Burial will be private for the family.
