Dixie Lee (Riggs) Davidson

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Dixie went to be with her Savior Jesus, Aug. 7, 2018, at the age of 90.

She and her twin sister Donna were born Dec. 30, 1927, on the family ranch on Riggs Road in Lakeport to Donald (Curly) and Hattie Riggs.

She loved being raised on the ranch and could out hunt and climb most boys her age. She always referred to herself as her Dad's boy.

She attended Lakeport schools as did her parents and grandparents. Clear Lake High School was where she met her husband Mac Davidson. After Mac returned from the war they were married on Sept. 15, 1946.

They bought a 43-acre ranch on Argonaut Road which they planted in walnuts. Here their three sons, Don, Ron and Jim, were born and raised.

When Jim, the youngest son, started school Dixie went to work for Safeway and worked for 27 years.

She loved to camp and hunt, loved her San Francisco Giants, played softball and bowled but she especially loved her family. Upon her retirement she took in and raised her two granddaughters, Mandy and Jessica.

Dixie was preceded in death by her husband, Mac Davidson; twin sister, Donna Davis; nephew, Johnny Davis; brother-in-law, John Davis; son, Jim Davidson and sister-in-law, Janette Davidson.

She is survived by her sons, Donald and wife Micki, and Ronald; 10 grandchildren, Danny (Jen) Davidson, Andy (Suzanne) Davidson, Josh (Brandi) Davidson, Mariah (Joesph) Golden, Tina (Jae) Mullen, Mandy (Brian) Fitzsimmons, Jessica (Brian) Davidson, Kodie and Michael Davidson and April Robles; 21 great-grandchildren; daughter-in-laws, Nancy Davidson and Vicky Cooper; brother-in-law, Orden Davidson; sister-in-law, Marilyn Wallace; nieces, Cindy (Mark) Dutcher and Linda Hansen; nephew, Tom (Tammy) Davis and many more nieces and nephews and cousins.

We would like to thank the entire staff at Rocky Point Care Center for the wonderful care and love you gave Dixie over the past four years. The friendships she made there were many and will not be forgotten.

A celebration of life will be held at Chapel of the Lakes Mortuary on Monday, Oct. 15, at 10 a.m.
