Helen Andrea McRoberts Honse Dixon passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, following a lengthy illness. Andi was 80 years old. Andi was born in Princeton, Illinois to Hallie Marie Hansen McRoberts and Roger Lowell McRoberts, Sr. on April 29, 1945. In 1947 the family moved to Dallas, Texas and then moved to Houston, Texas in 1955. In 1960 the family moved back to Dallas and in 1963, Andi graduated from Highland Park High School. She then moved to Denton, Texas to attend Texas Women's University with plans for nursing school. During this time Andi was singing at small local clubs; she had an incredible singing voice and also played the guitar and the autoharp. She loved singing and had quite a following! In 1966, Andi became a Braniff Airlines flight attendant. Her training class was the first group to wear the incredible uniforms created by designer Emilio Pucci for which Braniff received a lot of publicity and as a result, Andi was able to model and attend numerous events. She loved her job at Braniff! She travelled the world and was the flight attendant on charter flights with sports teams and numerous country singers and bands. The highlight of Andi's 17-year career with Braniff was her mercy flights to Vietnam to bring hundreds of orphans to the United States. In 1976 Andi met Annie Jones Rowe and the two of them developed a beautiful friendship, a 50-year bond and beautiful memories up until Andi passed away. After her Braniff days, Andi reinvented herself and went on to become a police officer with the Denton County Sheriff’s Office in the communications department. While living and working in Denton, Andi met and married Ronald Edward Honse "Bill" on May 2, 1987. They made their home in Lake Dallas and enjoyed fishing, traveling and family time. They also enjoyed being active with The Lake Cities Senior’s Citizens of Lake Dallas where they served lunch once a month and held a large CHRISTmas dinner each year. Between working, fishing and volunteering Andi loved to do needlework; many of these beautiful works of art were displayed in her home. Along with her wonderful husband Bill, Andi gained a daughter Kimberlee, son-in-law Randy Webb and 2 grandchildren, Tanya and Jonathan. Andi quickly moved into the role of a loving wife, mom and a MeMe, a name given by Tanya when they were playing with M&M’s and spelled out MEME. After Bill passed away on March 17, 1995, Andi continued her work for the Sherrif’s Department and made a trip to San Antonio in the spring of 2000, where she met Joseph Dixon. Joe quickly fell in love with Andi. He told his family he had met a beautiful and very kind woman. And she was both for sure! They married on April 12, 2000. She immediately endeared herself to Joe’s children and whole family by taking an interest in their lives, having a great listening and caring ear, and sharing her gentle and wise advice. We were blessed to have her as our Mom. One of Mom’s greatest joys was being surrounded by family. Her eyes always lit up when her home, the beach house, or special dinners were filled with family and friends - her love and joy was having family close. Andi often talked about her nieces and nephews that she loved and often bragged about, they were her pride and joy. She especially loved seeing the grandchildren and great grandchildren! She took time to speak to each and every one of them, often having special treats ready to give out. Joe and Andi shared many wonderful adventures together. Andi’s love of horses soon also became Joe’s love as well and they had wonderful adventures at competitive horse shows. Andi’s beautiful horses won many trophies which she proudly displayed. And they had such fun traveling to the Coushatta Casino Resort. For Andi she thoroughly enjoyed meeting people and engaging in some competitive games of bingo, of which she was quite good and often won! Joe founded CASA Physicians Alliance, which he and Andi grew into a thriving, prosperous business and legacy for the family. They genuinely loved spending time together on their many adventures and endeavors. Andi is survived by her brother Roger L. McRoberts and his wife Alexis and their sons, Lowell and Colin. She is survived by her sister Marie Kathleen Stallworth and her husband Darrell and their children Christian, Nathan, Kyle and Taylor. She is also survived by her dearly loved great nieces and great nephews. Additionally, she is survived by her children Kimberlee Webb and her husband Randy Webb, Christopher J. Dixon and his wife Nicole L. Dixon, Pamela A. Domiano and her husband Jack P. Domiano, Shari L. Smith, Laurel Dixon and her many dearly loved grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Andi was preceded in death by her parents Marie and Roger McRoberts, first husband, Bill Honse and grandson, Jonathan Webb; her sister Hallie Lisa Ross and Lisa's children Jonna and James. She is also preceded in death by her husband Joseph D. Dixon and his son Daniel J. Dixon. Andi was patient and kind, generous and gentle, a true example of Christ in action. She had sincere care for everyone in her life. Andi will be deeply missed. We will never forget the lessons of love and care that we learned from Andi as a Wife, Mom, MeMe, Sister, Aunt, Friend…for sure a beautiful woman inside and out, just as Joe and many others have said. In lieu of flowers, Andi's family requests memorial donations to: Reach Unlimited 11832 Mueller Cemetery Road Cypress, Texas 77429.
