Jean Dixon, a longtime Greenwich resident, passed away February 23, 2025, at age 95.
She was born on June 29, 1929, in Edinburgh, Scotland. She is predeceased by her husband, John (Jack) Dixon, who passed away in 1992.
Together they immigrated to America in 1955 to build their beautiful life. Jean is the cherished mother of Joyce Dannheim (Robert) and Malcolm Dixon (Elizabeth Ann), loving grandmother of Heather Beardsley (Seth), Courtney Letz (Ethan) and Mallory Dixon and great grandmother of James, Jack, Cameron and Mackenzie.
She is predeceased by her family in Scotland, her siblings Christine MacHardie and Jack Scott and her parents George and Isabella Scott.
She nurtured and exuded her Scottish pride throughout her life, instilling it in her family with special treats, songs and sayings.
Her memory lives on in her group of lifelong Scottish friends, the “YaYa’s,” who together are honored with a wooden bench overlooking the Byram Shore.
All who knew her will remember her sweet presence, sense of humor and generosity.
