Debbie "Nan" J. Dixon

Debbie “Nan” J. (Bowling) Dixon, 73, of Plainfield and formerly of Monrovia, passed from this life in the comfort of her home, with her beloved daughters at her bedside in the early morning hours of Sunday, May, 7, 2023. She was born in London, KY on February 7, 1950, to the late Charles R. Bowling and Frances (Chestnut) Gregory. A proud graduate of Ben Davis High School with the class of 1968, Debbie went to work for Airgas as a talented Administrative Assistant, where she devoted 45 years of hard work and dedication, deservingly retiring in 2020. A 20 year past member of the Hazelwood Christian Church, she most recently was a faithful member of Traders Point Christian Church West in Plainfield. Debbie’s first marriage produced the first two souls she was born to love and nurture, Stacy and Kim. A dedicated matriarch, her life revolved around her family from the moment she laid eyes on her precious newborn babes. From her girls sporting events to her grandsons sporting events, Nan was there for each and every game, cheering them on to victory. Best friends with her daughters and a lover of live music, the trio frequently attended country music concerts. As life progressed, Nan found love marrying Ed Dixon in 1996. While the marriage dissolved in 2016, she and Ed remained friends until the end. When the family grew to have lives of their own, she moved to a condo in Plainfield by the park where she found pleasure in walking daily and playing pickle ball. Civic minded, she diligently lived a life of service not only to her family, but community as well. In her free time, she worked seasonally for Kirkland’s, volunteered at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church preparing and serving meals to the underserved of Hendricks County, as well as volunteering in the Nursery at Trader’s Point. On Valentines Day, she delivered flowers for the local florist. With a passion for traveling and a love of the beach, Nan frequently took trips, spending time in Puerto Rico, Florida, Jamaica, and Michigan. A truly selfless woman, she was kind, loving and shy, and wasn’t one to be in the spotlight. Mild mannered and without judgement, she saw people for who they were, not what their past represented. Leaving this world too soon and unexpectedly, Nan will forever be remembered for her infectious laugh and her tender heart. Along with her parents, Debbie was preceded in death by her brother, Kenny Bowling, and son-in-law, Tommy Edwards. She leaves behind her daughters, Stacy Fulmer (Marc) of Mooresville, and Kim Edwards-Hensley (Tim) of Danville; siblings, Marty Bowling (Lori) of Martinsville, and Lisa Jobe of Pittsboro; grandchildren, Logan Floyd (Jessica) of Franklin, Chase Edwards (Hannah) of Clayton, Hunter Floyd of Mooresville, and Cole Edwards of Clayton; great grandchildren, Layla and Kyla Floyd; along with several nieces and nephews. Funeral Arrangements have been entrusted to Light Memorial & Funeral Chapel in Monrovia. Friends and family are invited to gather for visitation from 11:30am until 2:30pm on Friday, May 12 with a Celebration of Life Service beginning promptly at 2:30pm. Pastor Steve Ranson will officiate, and burial will follow in Clayton Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Traders Point West Christian Ministries, 2002 Stafford Rd, Plainfield, IN 46168, and envelopes will be available during services.
