STORY
TIME,
and grandchildren to draw,
paint and sculpt. Dixie was
a fabulous cook, and she
loved to entertain her family
and friends. Dixie could do
anything she set her heart to
— except sing. Dixie was a
homemaker, a crop surveyor
for the U.S. Department
of
Agriculture,
a member of the
Pendleton
Art
Center and the
Umatilla County
Historical Society.
Over the years
Dixie was sustained
by the laughter and
camaraderie of a
very special group
of friends. The
Coffee Group, as
known within the
Temple
family,
was in so many ways an
extension of family.
After 42 years of farming,
Dixie and Mack retired and
built a home in Pendleton.
Dixie is survived by
her loving husband. Mack;
her four sons and daugh-
ters-in-law, Greg and Lisa
from Rapid City, South
Dakota, Kelly and Joanne
from Boise, Idaho, Mark and
Stephanie from Pendleton,
and Patrick and Eva from
Hermiston; her grandchil-
dren Angela, Nathan, Kevin,
Riley, Harrison and Kylie;
brother Bobby Wilkerson
from Honolulu, Hawaii, and
sister Ardath Flomer from
Wilsonville, Oregon; and
her nieces and nephews.
Brother Edwin preceded her
in death.
A memorial celebration
of life will be held at 11 a.m.
on Saturday, November 21,
2015, at the Free Methodist
Church, 1711 S.W. 44th St.,
Pendleton.
In lieu of Àowers, please
consider honoring Dixie
with remembrances to the
Portland Shriners Children’s
Hospital, Umatilla County
Historical Society or the
Pendleton Center for the
Arts.

Dixie Irene Temple
passed
away
Friday,
November 13, 2015, at the
age of 75. She was born
July 20, 1940, in Easton,
Washington, to Fenton
(Buck) and Bertha Wllk-
erson. The family settled in
the Kennewick area in her
early years. At 12,
her family moved
to
Pendleton
where she attended
Hawthorne Grade
School, Pendleton
Jr. High and Pend-
leton High School.
She was an excep-
tional
swimmer,
competing on the
Pendleton Swim
Team,
in
the Temple
Junior Olympics
and working as a
swimming instructor at the
Pendleton Natatorium.
Dixie spent two summers
working as a truck driver on
her friend’s wheat ranch near
Rudyard, Montana. During
her school years Dixie
formed a number of lifelong
friends, most importantly
her loving husband, Mack
Temple.
Dixie and Mack lived
in La Grande and Eugene
while
Mack
attended
college. They moved to
Phoenix, Arizona, where
they lived for six years
before returning to operate
the Temple family farm west
of Pendleton in 1965.
Dixie had four sons
and loved the high energy
and fun of a large family.
Dixie was a Cub Scout den
mother for her boys, and an
ardent supporter of her sons’
athletic endeavors (football,
wrestling, track and ¿eld).
She loved the outdoors,
¿shing with her family, and
enjoying the end of each day
on her sunset bench.
Dixie always had a heart
for those in need. She had a
quiet way of helping others,
and she continued to do so
until her ¿nal days. Her faith
in God guided and sustained
her throughout her life.
She was a talented artist
and taught her children
