Dixie Jean Nagy, 100, passed away peacefully on February 4, 2025. Born on December 13, 1924, in O'Donnell, Texas, Dixie led a life full of love, adventure, and joy. She was married at 18 and became the proud mother of five children. Her legacy lives on through her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, all of whom she cherished deeply. A passionate fisherman and talented artist, Dixie found immense joy in the simple pleasures of life, particularly in time spent with her family. After the passing of her husband, she moved to Rockport, Texas, where she could fully indulge in her two greatest passions: fishing and painting. There, she loved hosting family and friends, taking them out on the boat, and teaching her grandchildren how to fish—a lesson they will never forget. Dixie was a force of nature: fiercely independent and strong-willed, she never hesitated to speak her mind. She lived life on her terms and enjoyed every moment to the fullest. In her 90s, she moved back to San Antonio to be closer to her family, where she became an integral part of her grandkids' and great-grandkids' lives, attending every sports game and cheering them on with her signature enthusiasm. Dixie’s zest for life and her unwavering love for her family will be missed by all who knew her. She leaves behind a rich legacy of love, strength, and determination, and she will forever be in the hearts of those who loved her. She is preceded in death by her parents Pansy Mae Wyatt and Luther Wyatt; her husband, William S. Nagy; her siblings, Luther Lee Wyatt, Jr., James M. Wyatt and Jerry E. Wyatt; and her daughter, Lisa Crocker and grandson’s Edward Crocker and Justin Crocker. Dixie is survived by her children, Carolyn Gill, Gary Nagy, Jana Willborn (husband Roy) and Shawn Nagy (wife Brandi); grandchildren, Kim Cantwell, Tom Wesley, Shane Nagy, Austin Willborn, Tyler Willborn, Erica Crocker, and Gabriela and Alena Nagy; great grandchildren, Asa, Daisy and Arden Cantwell, Miranda Carter, Joshua, Ilea and Elijah Wesley, Casey, Kyndal, Duke Nagy, Oliver Willborn, and Erriana, Timothy and Kayden Hayes; great-great grandchildren, Reece and Blakely Nagy and Jace Cantwell; and numerous nieces, nephews and other family members. Visitation will be from 1:00 P.M. to 2:30 P.M. on Sunday, February 16, 2025 at Mission Park Funeral Chapels North, 3401 Cherry Ridge. The Graveside Service will be at 11:00 A.M. on Wednesday, February 26, 2025 at the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, 1520 Harry Wurzbach Road.
