What an amazing memorial website. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. We miss you Josi.

That was such a beautiful tribute to Josie and after crying and wondering how you could possibly do this without breaking your own hearts, is beyond me. I guess that proves there is a power beyond us that allows us to carry on, regardless of the pain, to put a heartfelt effort into a lovely slide show and soon to be memorial. You can tell by her smile that she had a warm character about her, and probably a no nonsense approach to fools. If you are a prosecutor, you will not suffer them lightly. I’m sure this is still quite raw and I don’t want to say anthing but you raised a wonderful girl, and that she did partake in our Blog, as a necessary vehicle for expressing her cancer concerns. We all need that kind of support, and that is how we have learned about Josie.

May I pray for all of you in your time of grieving and also in the joy of having her in your lives, and leaving wonderful memories and a standard of strength for you to aspire to.

Sincerely,

Louise, better known as Weezie

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

In one way or another, you have all come to know Josiane Dixon over the last 33 years. As many of you also may know, Josi passed away on December 24th, Christmas Eve, following a courageous battle with leukemia.

Josi was an unusual combination of a loving warm exterior coupled with an inner strength and stubborn will. She taught us about grace under fire both in her tenacious ability as a prosecutor and her courage in the throes of her battle with cancer. We will be forever grateful to have known her and to have witnessed the amount of joyful living a person can squeeze into 33 years of life.

For those in the Twin Cities who are able to attend, there will be a memorial service to honor and celebrate her life. The service will be held at the Weyerhaeuser Chapel at Macalester College on January 4th at 3:00pm in St. Paul, Minnesota. There will be a visitation with the family for one hour preceding the service.

For those who are in California, or who are unable to attend the service in St. Paul, there will be an additional ceremony planned for Sacramento in the near future. Details of this service will be announced in the coming weeks.

We have also reached out to California Western School of Law to establish a Josiane Dixon Memorial Scholarship Fund. All memorials in Josi’s honor to the fund are welcome. Donations may be sent to California Western School of Law 225 Cedar St. San Diego, CA 92101, checks may be made out to CWSL and Josiane Dixon Scholarship Fund noted in the memo portion.

Address and directions to the service are provided below. Following the memorial service, there will be reception celebrating Josi’s life and love of Irish pubs at O’Gara’s Bar and Grill, on the corner of Snelling and Selby Avenue in St. Paul.

Memorial Service:
Weyerhaeuser Chapel, Macalester College
1600 Grand Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55105

From the I-94 freeway, take exit 238 – MN-51/Snelling Avenue, and proceed south on Snelling for 1 mile and turn right on Grand Avenue. The Chapel will be on your left. Turn left on S Macalaster Street for parking adjacent to the campus center. A map of the parking options and service location on the campus is provided below.

Reception Celebration:
O’Gara’s Bar and Grill
164 Snelling Ave N, St Paul, MN

From the service, go North on Snelling. O’Gara’s will be just a few blocks up on the corner of Snelling and Selby Avenue.

Thank you for all the loving support and wishes for both Josi and our family through this difficult time. We all wish to celebrate Josi’s wonderful life with you, and we hope you join with us either in person or spirit.

The Dixon and Jobin Families



Josi was an outstanding lawyer. We had the chance to work together for one summer while she was in law school and she worked in our office as a summer intern. She did outstanding research and wanted to be exposed to as many aspects of the practice of law as possible and while she did not get to practice in Montana, had she wanted to do so, she would have made an outstanding member of our bar. Knowing her father, you could see in Josie the same love of knowledge and a sense of her awareness of the needs of others and her searching for how her practice could extend assistance to others. She will be missed by all who knew her. Ron Waterman

My sincere condolences to you Keith and your family…I cannot imagine the pain you are going through, however I hope you find comfort in knowing how many lives that Josi touched in her short time here. I only had the opportunity meet her once at the office – however, immediately she impressed upon me her warm personality and glowing presence. I remember how you glowed as well when speaking of Josi – it was so apparent how incredibly proud you are of her. I enjoyed reading her blogs and see that she was a spirited fighter until the end…Josi had amazing strength and spirit that will forever live on through all of us she touched.
My sincerest condolences to you and your family.
Rest in peace, Josi.

Heather Daniels

Dear Dixon and Jobin families,

I just learned of Josi’s fight and recent passing and felt compelled to send a message to you all. I’ve read some posts here that mention how many lives Josi touched in her own life and I’d like to contribute to that sentiment. I played basketball with Josi at Grossmont High School and we lost touch after graduation. I have always remembered her determination and leadership on the team, her gentle spirit but aggressive and strong offensive playing :), and her smile. We weren’t best friends by any means but we were friends and she was a ‘light’ for many I think.
I hope your white Christmas was beautifully joyous in your celebration of her life, amidst your sadness. I will keep you all in my prayers and I hope you continue to be blessed by who she was to the world and who she is to you. Anney Rosenthal
