Dorothy Dixon Seely

SEELY, DOROTHY DIXON, 95, died peacefully August 3, 2007 in Dallas. She was born on July 2, 1912, the year the Titanic sank. She was born at her parent’s home in Kansas City, KS on a day so hot that her Dad kept hosing down the outside of the house to help keep it cool for the birth. Her parents were Hugh Moffitt Dixon and Phoebe Perle Davidson Dixon, both from Burlington, KS. During the flu epidemic of l918 her family lived to Mesa, Az; they were spared flu deaths. Missing Kansas, they moved back to Olathe, bought and ran the mercantile. Dorothy graduated from KC’s Central HS in 1929, and got her BS and MS degrees in medical technology from Kansas Univ in 1933 and ’34. Her master’s thesis was based on her research work with viruses: how to grow them in the laboratory. She met and married Clark Workman Seely who had come to KC General Hosp for his residency in pediatrics. They were married on 10/24/1943 until Clark’s death in l993. They had a loving marriage that produced 3 children, Julie, Janet (Robbins) and Clark III, of Dallas and Salem, OR. She spent her marriage watching over her brood, loving abd making life easy for Clark, and being a Ruling Elder in the Presbyterian Church US. Our mother/ grandmother knew no equal when it came to honest opinions, a big heart, and an active involvement in all of our lives. Her body was eventually bent and frail, but her smart mind and her gracious heart never failed. Her loving family and many friends will miss her. There will be a memorial service for Dorothy at her church, Northpark Presbyterian, 9555 North Central Expway, at 1 pm, Tuesday, August 7. In lieu of flowers, you may donate to Vista Care Hospice, 7557 Rambler Rd, Dallas 75231, and the Employee Fund of the The Forum Retirement Community, 7831 Park Lane, Dallas, 75225.
