Dixie Proffitt, of Jonesborough, TN passed away with family by her side June 15, 2022 at JCMC. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. Dixie was born November 3, 1947 in Unicoi, TN to Roy and Irene Deyton. She loved spending time with friends and family, going fishing, and watching movies. She was truly one of a kind and that can definitely be proven by her love for doing laundry. She was always accepting of people for who they were and would bring everyone in just like they were family. Everyone around her knew her as a hard worker and she was always ready to lend a helping hand. She loved her family and friends and would always brag on them given the chance. She was always a giving person and loved spoiling everyone around her every chance she got. She also loved helping in the kitchen, especially during get togethers or when making her famous pumpkin rolls. She had never met a stranger and was never too busy to sit down and have a conversation. She was always able to bring smiles, laughter, and joy to any situation. Dixie is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Loyd Scism Jr. and Melissa Scism; grandsons; Kenneth Brandon Scism and Camron Scism; granddaughter-in-law, Ashley Scism; great granddaughter, and light of her life, Jade Scism.
