  1. Rogers MN
    My grandma listed as Dixie’s sister was Palma Norby. (Spell check! Not Nordby)
    Didn’t know Dixie but met her a few times. I remember she was very close to my grandma and they both looked alike. Now they are with Cesal!

  2. Fargo ND
    To The family of Dagny,
    I had the pleasure of growing up next to Roy and Dagny in Felton.
    I spent many days playing in their basement , making pretend meals for them and asking them a millon questions.
    They were the best, always had time for the neighbor kids. And yes on Halloween their house was the one not to miss.
    I have awesome memories of my times spent with them.
    Now its time for her and Roy to be together again.
    Rest in Peace Dagny..
    Love,
    Your Old Neighbor..

  3. FERGUS FALLS MN
    Dear family members of dear Aunt Dixie.
    I have so many loving memories of when Dixie lived with us at 221 West Vernon in Fergus Falls, Mn. How I loved Dixie and used to slip into her room and read the “love letters” from dear Roy. True love. The Hagen family was blessed with many to be loved and now the last (youngest) has joined Palma and the others. God Bless You Dixie!

    Your niece Patti & husband Tedd

  4. Windom MinnesoetaI would like to extend my sincere sympathy in the passing of Dagny. I so enjoyed her as a kid…and her great Halloween House, and then again getting to know her when she resided in Evergreens Assisted Living where I was Activity Director. She always had a smile on her face, and warm heart. She was an extraordinary woman.

  5. I met Dixie at the nursing home less than 2 years ago with my mother, RoyNell Norby. We wanted to visit her and were very surprised how much she looked like her sister, my grandmother, Palma Norby. We had coffee with Dixie and even though she did not know us because of her illness, it was a good visit for us. She was the last of her generation. Rest in peace.

  6. Fergus Falls Mn Bless be the memory of Dixie. She was a sister to my Mother-in-law Palma Norby. I visited her at the nursing home with my daughters and also my husband Larry Norby. Thank you to her care givers over the years. Roy Nell
