IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Frances
Hixon
August 30, 1926 – November 14, 2023
Obituary
Frances Hixon, left this world November 14, 2023, surrounded by God's merciful love and peace.
She lived a long life and spent much of it helping others. Frances' career included telegraph operator for the railroad during World War II, and telephone operator in Dallas, where she met a co-worker who traded shifts with her one night in exchange for her going on a blind date with the co-worker's brother. She married that blind date, and his military career took her around the country and introduced her to lifelong friends, returning at last to her native Texas.
She retired from food service work in her local school district. Frances moved to Oshkosh in 2012, to be near her daughter, Brenda. With her experience in food service and her legacy of helping others, Frances was always interested in knowing what was happening at the local Salvation Army kitchen.
Her remains are going home to Texas in the spring, where her family and friends will gather to celebrate her life and mourn our loss. Those remains will be reunited with her husband, Burton, and her daughter, Sharon, as she is now celebrating her reunion with them and so many other friends and family who've gone on before.
If you'd like to mark her memory with a donation to the Oshkosh Salvation Army kitchen, she would have liked that. Oshkosh Salvation Army Kitchen, 417 Algoma Blvd, Oshkosh, WI 54901.
