In Loving Memory - Always in Our Thoughts - Always in Our Hearts

Dixi Montooth was born on September 12, 1962, in Reno, NV, and went to be with the Lord on May 12, 2023, in Fallon, NV.

Dixi graduated from Churchill County High School in 1980 and walked down the aisle with her future husband. She married the love of her life, Chris Montooth, on August 5, 1989, in Monterey, CA. Dixi and Chris had been married for 33 years. She adored her two Shih Tzus, Earl Deputy and Spencer Johnson, whom she called “Her Boys.” Chris and Dixi took many trips, but her favorite place was Maui, Hawaii.

Dixi worked in banking for years and then her dream came true to become a hairstylist and the owner of The Electric Chairs Salon. Dixi thought of many of her clients as family.

Dixi is survived by her husband, Chris Montooth, her mother, Peggy Norris, her sisters Debbie Mason and husband Kelly, Dee Vaughan and husband Kelly all of Midland TX, and lots of cousins, nephews, and nieces.

Dixi is preceded in death by her father, Jack Norris, her grandparents, Henry and Gladys Norris, and Marion and Mary Hays.

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
