Dixie Lee Latham Smythe
October 17, 1945 - June 18, 2022

Dixie Latham Smythe passed away peacefully on June 18th, at her home in Keller, Texas with family by her side. She was born in Temple, Texas, on October 17, 1945, to R. B. and Maye Latham. Dixie met her sweetheart Ronnie, in 1962, and they were married on June 8, 1963. They were blessed with two children and five grandchildren and great-children.

Dixie was known to all for her unconditional love of family, feisty spirit, contagious laugh, funny personality, her impeccable style, her excellent cooking and for loving her dogs. Family was everything to her, and she cherished nothing more than spending time with those she loved, including her Red Hat groups and her bible study friends. Dixie will be missed for her loving nature, her ability to light up a room with her radiant smile and truly never meeting a stranger.

Dixie will be missed for her laugh, her kind words, her sympathetic ear, her irresistible desserts, her love for travel with her friends and family, and above all, her deep faith will all be greatly missed. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." (2 Timothy 4:7-8).

Dixie is preceded in death by her husband Ronnie Smythe, father, R. B. Latham, and her mother Maye Latham Worden, her sister, Judy Latham.

Dixie is survived by her two children Ron and his wife Teresa Smythe and her daughter Stacy and her husband Jason Blevins. Dixie is also survived by her greatest joys in life: her grandchildren Ronald, Randal and wife Courtney, Ryann, Jacob and wife Avery, and Garrett. She had four amazing great-grandchildren: Kaleb, Payton, Rylan, Cooper and one on the way.
