It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Viola Grace Dixon on May 1, 2026, at the age of 100 1/2 years.
She is survived by her daughters Lyndel (Darcy) and Deena (Rob), and son Ewert (Mary) Johnson, her sister Merla Ridge, her grandchildren Michelle (Steve) Antil, Jason Wilkinson, Cora Rye, and Kimberly (David) Babiy, great-grandchildren Victoria, Joshua, and Xyla.
She was predeceased by her husband Ed, her daughter Velen Johnson, grandson Cody Melin, brother Delbert Smiley, sisters Leatrice Wilson and Dolly Koehle, and her parents Elsie and Bill Smiley.
Viola enjoyed spending time with others and was known for her warm smile and friendly nature. Her faith was important to her, and she was eager to share it with others, which she did for 73 years. Her hope was to live forever in a paradise on earth. She appreciated the association of her congregation throughout her life, most recently in Ottewell.
The family extends a heartfelt thanks to all who supported and cared for Viola throughout her years. Her ability to tell stories, her kindness, and her perseverance will be remembered by many.
A memorial service will be held on May 29, 2026 @ 2:30 p.m. at Ottewell Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses at 6212 82 Avenue, Edmonton, AB.
