Dixie Ann Greer was born March 10, 1936 to Eugene and Mildred (York) Greer in Lubbock, Texas. She grew up in Lubbock and was a graduate of Lubbock High School. She would meet her future husband, Thomas Giles Stevens, the day before he left to attend Texas A&M University. They had a long distance courtship, writing letters and seeing each other over the holidays. On August 20, 1954, Dixie and Tom were married at First Baptist Church in Lubbock. She worked at the Gift Shop in the Memorial Student Center at Texas A&M, while her husband finished his degree. The couple then moved to Houston and LaPorte. During this time, Dixie attended modeling school and modeled in Houston. For a short while, the family lived in New York City, before returning to Houston. Here Dixie was a member of Houston Junior Forum and Westchester Women’s Club. In 1996, Dixie and Tom moved full time to Chappell Hill enjoying the country and slower pace of life. She was active member of Chappell Hill United Methodist Church. Dixie cherished visits with her children and grandchildren. She loved playing 42 with friends.
