Pendleton "Ray"

Dixon

Mr. Pendleton "Ray" Dixon of Jonesburg, MO, by way of "West By God Virginia" as our uncle would say...passed away on Saturday, March 9, 2024. He was born on April 10, 1930 in Albright, West Virginia to the late Jesse and Amy Dixon (nee: Bishop.) Ray had almost reached the age of  94 years.

Ray, as most people called him, sometimes known as P.R. left his family of 17 siblings to marry his beautiful wife, Betty on November 15, 1950 in Fort Benning, GA and they shared 73 wonderful years together. With a large family they learned to be very frugal, not waste anything, and fix everything possible. This carried over in his own family life with his 5 children that were born to this union; Bonnie, Donna, Joe, Judy, and Becky.
He was a man of all trades which saved plenty of money over the years. He had many jobs that he was expert at, but a few that he loved such as working at Monongahelia Power Plant, and U.E. Power Plants. His hobbies included, camping, working on his cars, wood working, and mechanical engineering.

Those whom are grateful for having shared in his life are his beloved wife, Betty; his loving children, Bonnie Hammond, Donna (Mark) Schenewerk, Joe (Nancy) Dixon, Judy (Bobby) Avery, and Becky Logan; he is also the cherished grandfather of 12 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild; dear siblings, Franklin Dixon, Dale Dixon, and Fred Dixon; Ray is preceded in death by his parents Jesse and Amy Dixon; 14 siblings, Donald, Kenneth, Willard, Warren, Byrns, Nettie, Ila, Charlotte, Nada, Robert, Jesse Jr., Lloyd, and Moris. He was a devoted and loving husband and father for 73 years, brother, uncle, cousin and friend to many. He always reached out to friends and family to help them in any way he could.
