Philomena C. (Grandinetti) Dixon

November 27, 1927 - May 12, 2016

Dixon, Philomena C. (Grandinetti) Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church on Thursday, May 12, 2016. Daughter of Angelo and Rose Grandinetti (Bucci). Beloved wife of passed Robert C. Dixon (loving husband of 58 years and closest friend of 64). Dear mother of Rosemary (Larry) Brown, Robert C. (Martha) Dixon, III, James G. (Kelly) Dixon, and Mark J. (Laura) Dixon. Dear grandmother of Robert IV (passed), Mary, Edward, Elizabeth, Christopher, Michael, David, Matthew, and Jonathon. Dear aunt, cousin, in-law and friend of many. While working for the Veteran’s Administration during early marriage years while her husband Bob served time in the Navy, the majority of her years were spent as a homemaker and consummate supporter of her children’s various activities. Like her mother, Philomena placed her family first and herself second, never wanting more than what was needed, never asking for more than what was necessary. Driven by a strong sense of responsibility to their family, Phil and Bob always wanted to provide for their children and set them on a path to their own success and independence. Now reunited, may they both rest in peace together knowing that their support and guidance leaves all four children living happy and healthy lives in their memory. She will now rest alongside her husband, parents, brother John, and the many other friends and relatives in Cedar Park Cemetery, Hudson, New York, while also residing in some small way at her homes in Huntleigh, MO and Rockport, MA. Memorial Mass will be held at St. Mary’s Church, 429 E. Allen Street, Hudson, New York, at 10:00am, Saturday, May 28th. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to: St Louis Elks Lodge #9, fbo Veteran’s Services, 12481 Ladue Rd, St. Louis, 63141
