Dixie Beal was born on August 11, 1936 in Berryville, Ark. and went to be with her Lord and Savior on May 30, 2022.
Dixie was owner/operator of Hertz Car Rental Agency for over 30 years before she retired in 2006. She enjoyed going to church at First Southern Baptist Church in Imperial, Calif. She also loved cooking for her family, especially on Christmas Day. Several years ago, it was suggested she fix prime rib instead of ham and turkey. She agreed and fixed prime rib in addition to ham and turkey from then on. She wanted to be sure everyone got what they wanted.
Dixie was preceded in death by Bobby Beal, her husband of 64 years; parents, Deck and Vinnie Snow; brothers, Don and Elbert Snow; and sister, Betty Etchison.
Dixie leaves behind three daughters: Joyce (John) Goral of Yuma, Ariz., Shelly (Dent) Deal of El Centro, Calif. and Cindy Beal Lopez, of Imperial, Calif.; sisters, Cookie Graham of Arkansas, Peggy Moon of Missouri, Judy Evans of Missouri; and brother, Bobby Snow of Missouri. Dixie was Nana D (or Nan) to six grandchildren, Amy Bonillas, of Imperial, Calif., John (Ali) Goral of Bellemont, Ariz., Jeremy (Shannon) Goral of Vail, Ariz., Brenden (Kyleen) Lopez, of Imperial, Calif., Rhea (Colin) Schmidt, of Torrance, Calif. and Preslie Lopez, of Imperial, Calif.; 10 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Graveside service and burial is planned for Tuesday, July 12, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. at Evergreen Cemetery, 201 East Gillett Street, El Centro, Calif. with Pastor Matthew Mincher officiating.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggest donating to First Southern Baptist Church, 401 West 14 Street, Imperial, CA.
RIP Mom, we love you.
