Dixie Lee Baldwin, 70, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, passed away Oct. 8, 2016, at her home. Dixie was born Feb. 7, 1946, in Fedora, S.D., to Robert and Leora (Pooly) Dahms.

As a child, Dixie moved with her family to Sylmar, Calif., where she spent the rest of her adolescence. There she met John Joseph Baldwin through a friend. They were later married on April 27, 1963, in St. George, Utah. They were married 41 years when Dixie passed.

She enjoyed crocheting, flower and vegetable gardening, camping on the North Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River, but mostly she loved spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will remember her as G.G.

Dixie is survived by her loving husband, John, of the family home in Coeur d’Alene; three children, James Randolph Baldwin of Greyland, Wash., Candie Ann (Sandon) McFarland of Post Falls, Idaho, and Michelle Marie (Brandon) Studebaker of Rathdrum, Idaho; two stepchildren, Mckenna Francis (Brian) Everett of Rathdrum and John Robert Baldwin of Coeur d’Alene; one sister, Donna Webb; three stepbrothers, Greg Lawrence of Mazatlan, Mexico, Randy Lawrence of California and Bobby Dahms of Coeur d’Alene; one stepsister, Kathy Olson of Coeur d’Alene; nine grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and one sister, Dianne McComb.

A celebration of Dixie’s life will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, 2016, at Prairie Avenue Community Church, 3639 W. Prairie Ave., Hayden, Idaho.
