The sun rose for Gladys Rudine Dixon on September 12, 1917 in Elmodel, Georgia, where she was born to Nathaniel Simmons and Anna Bell Simmons. Gladys parents instilled in her the importance of family, the comfort of love, the warmth of kindness, the benefits of discipline, the benevolence of giving and the grace of God.
Gladys joined New Salem CME Church at an early age where she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. Upon locating to Florida, she united with the Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church of Winter Garden, Florida. She later joined New Inspiration Missionary Baptist Church, Winter Garden, Florida where she remained a faithful member until her demise.
She was united in holy matrimony to Robert Dixon.
When Gladys health began to fail, she was admitted into Health Central Hospital. God in His infinite wisdom deemed it possible for Gladys to return home, where she passed away peacefully on February 16, 2012.
Gladys was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Dixon; parents, Nathaniel and Anna Bell Simmons; one brother, Edward Simmons; four sisters, Vernice Bruce, Ocilla B. James, Eula Mae Griffin and Alice M. Lofton; one adopted daughter, Laverne Bruce Battle.
Gladys leaves to cherish her memories, two brothers, Dodge L. Simmons of Winter Garden, Florida and Sheppard Simmons (Cozetta) of Elmodel, Georgia; one granddaughter, Gladys M. Bruce of Winter Garden, Florida; one great grandson, Andrew W. Bruce of Winter Garden, Florida; one aunt, Sally Lofton of Winter Garden, Florida; devoted friend, Clara Williams; other relatives and many, many sorrowing friends.
Visitation will be on Saturday, February 25, 2012, from 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the church.

I Am Always With You
I am always with you
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,
But be thankful we had so many good years.
I gave you my love, and you can only guess
How much you've given me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it is time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
That it is only for a while that we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away for life goes on.
And if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear
And then, when you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home".
