Mildred Dixon, 94, of Lake Katrine

Mildred Dixon, 94, of Lake Katrine, died Friday, Sept. 23, 2016, at Ten Broeck Commons.

Born in Walden, N.Y., she was a daughter of the late Sherman and Leta Effner DeLong.

Mildred was full of life ... a fighter who overcame many challenges throughout her life. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She recently told a story of receiving a gift of a scooter as a young girl. She was so thrilled, she rode it for hours, until she had to come inside to avoid heat exhaustion. She lost her father when she was four months old, but she often said that if he had lived, she might have been a very spoiled little girl. We would like to think of her now, smiling, riding that scooter, being spoiled by those who love her and

passed before.

Mildred is survived by her four children, Annette Korcak and her husband Richard of Napanoch, Marcia Jackson and her husband Thomas of Stone Ridge, Sharon Cook and her partner John of Cohoes, N.Y. and Sheila Molony and her husband Randall of Farmington, Conn.; 14 grandchildren and numerous greatgrandchildren also survive.

In addition to her parents, Mildred was predeceased by her husband, Vernon Dixon, who passed in 1991; a daughter, Frances

Moshier who passed in 1980; and a brother, Thomas Dixon, who passed away this year.

Mildred will be reposing at Simpson-Gaus Funeral Home, 411 Albany Ave., Kingston on Monday, Sept. 26, 2016, from 11 a.m. to noon.

A funeral service will follow at noon at the funeral home, with the Rev. Charles Stickley officiating.

Interment will follow in Wiltwyck Cemetery.
