1932 January 29 2020
Obituary Irmgard was born June 15, 1932 to
her parents, Gustav Grenz and Anna Schmidt,
in Freystadt, Germany (Renamed Kisielice,
Poland after WWII). Irmgard and her mother
were forced to leave home and flee deeper
into Germany to avoid the Russians during
WWII. She eventually wound up in Dortmund,
Germany, and became a Civil Engineer. In
1960, she met the missionaries of The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and
joined the church in 1960. She came to
America in 1962 and married Gary Dixon. She
had four children: Gerd, Kai, Tanya and
Dirk. She traveled with her husband in the
military and was always active in her church
and community. She has resided in Utah since
1990—where she has remained active with
church and friends. She even joined a group
of German ladies and got together once month
for lunch and visiting. She and Gary were
married 57 years. Her life was centered
around her church, her marriage, her family,
her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren
and numerous friends. It was a good life,
and she will be greatly missed. She is
survived by her husband, Gary; son, Gerd;
daughter, Tanya; and son, Dirk. Her son,
Kai, preceded her in death in 2018. We, as a
family, wish to thank so many really good
friends—too many to mention, who have shown
Irmgard and her family so much kindness,
caring and consideration. I, as her husband,
wish to say life with her has been a great
ride. Her character, caring and love will
influence many, and she has provided many
good memories for all who knew her. Thank
you all for your thoughts, prayers and good
deeds. Memorial Services will be held on
