Wanda Dionne Hixon , January 16, 1990 — December 23, 2018

Wanda Dionne Hixon “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord. thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you and expected end”. Jeremiah 29:11 Wanda was born on January 16, 1990, to Dellaviner and Leon Hixon.

She is one of four children born to this loving union. Wanda was a bright spot that shined for all to see. A close family, much of her time was spent laughing and enjoying time with her parents and siblings.

She loved them more than anything. Her absence leaves a void that will never be refilled. She accepted Christ as her personal Savior and was a member of the True Deliverance Outreach Ministries in Mexia, AL.

Under the Pastoral leadership of Minister Nellie Kidd, she flourished spiritually. Whatever capacity the Lord lead her to fulfill, Wanda was willing to be guided by the Holy Spirit. Her smile could light up a room and her heart was larger than most.

She believed in helping others and often times would adopt families during the holidays so she could spread her “holiday cheer” through gifting means. The simplicities of life brought her joy; laughter, smiles, seeing others happy and butterflies. Her spirit was like that of a butterfly, carefree and unbothered.

She fell in love with Alaiah Wilson and took her into her heart as if she were her own. “Lai” was her joy. Wanda loved children and teaching at Monroeville Middle School was an opportunity to feed that passion.

Her heart was warmed by her 5th grade students and teaching was everything she needed to live her best life. She was a 2008 graduate of Excel High School where she was a Cheerleader. Wanda received her Associates Degree from Alabama Southern Community College, and went on to obtain her Bachelors Degree and, most recently, her Masters Degree both in Elementary Education, from the University of West Alabama (UWA) Without warning, God saw that her earthly time should come to an end.

Like a Spring breeze, she came into our lives for a season, and slipped gently away. She leaves many memories to be cherished by her parents: Leon and Dellaviner Hixon of Monroeville, AL; her god-daughter: Alaiah “Lai” Wilson of Monroeville, AL; one brother: Rodney “Demetrius” Hixon of Monroeville, AL; two sisters: Tammy (Dennis) Hixon-Parker of Monroeville, AL, and Jolinda Hixon also of Monroeville, AL; eleven nieces and nephews, the faculty, staff and students of Monroeville Middle School, other loved family, classmates and many friends.
