IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Wendell P.
Dixon, Jr.
June 29, 1927 – March 7, 2019
Surrounded by family, Wendell P. Dixon, Jr. peacefully went on to be with the Lord
on Thursday, March 7, 2019. He was born to Wendell Dixon Sr. and Ora Mae (Boyd)
on June 29, 1927.
Wendell was educated in the Baltimore City Public School System and received
his diploma from Dunbar High School, where he obtained and honed the skills to
become a master tailor.
He enlisted in the United States Army where he proudly served his country during
WWII. Upon his return, he met the love of his life Vera Adelia Gough, and they mar-
ried on October 2, 1949. From this union, they had two daughters, Pamela Yvonne,
and Brenda Denise. He acquired a job at A&P Warehouse where he was employed
for over 25 years.
Wendell was an active member of Emmanuel Christian Church where he sang on
the men's choir and was a member of the usher board.
He was a beloved grandfather to three grandchildren, Maisha Nicole Reeves, Rob-
ert Brendann Reeves, Mira Adelia Reeves, and an equally proud Pop-Pop to his
qreat-qrandchildren, Tavon, Jayden, Taianna, Robbie and Marc. He was preceded
in death by his parents Wendell and Ora Mae, brother Charles, sister Rebecca and
son-in-law Robert Reeves. Left to cherish his memory are his daughters Pamela
and Brenda, half-sister Geraldine, stepsister Joyce, nephew and namesake Wendell
R. Dixon, as well as a host of other in-laws, nieces, nephews, God-children, family,
and friends.
Wendell enjoyed having a good time with family and friends. He loved to laugh,
sing and dance and was always the-life of the party. Whenever Michael Jackson's
music filled the room, you could be sure to find him up and on the dance floor,
doing his thing, as we're sure he's doing now.
