Dixie Lee Yeterian

(August 23, 1940 – April 10, 2023)

Dixie Lee Yeterian Kiser (nee James), 82, passed away Monday, April 10, 2023, at Heritage

Crossing Palliative and Hospice Care in Clovis, California.

She was born on August 23, 1940, in Walker Mine, California to Edna Levina (nee Parmenter)

and Ivan Burdick James. She moved to White Sands, New Mexico and met and married her

husband, Vahan Yeterian, in 1959. They moved to Lompoc, California where he was employed

as an Aerospace Engineer at Vandenberg Air Force Base. The couple made their home in

Lompoc California and raised four children, during which time Dixie earned a Masters degree

from UCSB in Psychology. After she and Vahan divorced, Dixie lived for a brief time in

Bakersfield, California and then moved to Anchorage, Alaska, where she taught at Anchorage

Alaska University and led metaphysical study groups until 1986.

In 1988, Dixie relocated to the hills above Fresno, California. There she met Albert Lee Kiser in

1991 and had a long and loving relationship. They were married in August of 2007.

Dixie was a natural psychic, born with highly developed intuition. She was very intuitive as a

child and demonstrated an uncanny ability to know things she should not have known - she

carried that talent throughout her life. She had a daily hour radio show on KLOM during the 70’s

where the radio audience would call in with questions and ask her advice. Dixie also hosted a

weekly television program that aired on Cable Channel 4 in Santa Maria, California.

Her abilities were well known nationwide. She appeared on several television shows and had

numerous newspaper and tabloid articles written about her as well as being featured in an

episode of “Strange but True”, a BBC production. She also worked with the Santa Barbara

Sheriff department, the Lompoc Police Department and other law enforcement agencies across

the United States to help solve particularly difficult cases.

She was the author of two books (Exploring Psychic Reality in 1976 and Casebook of a Psychic

Detective in 1982) and co-authored a third book with Jacqueline Sparks and Sandra Johnson, The

Psychic Bluebook.

Dixie will be remembered for her unconditional love, her unwavering commitment to teaching

Spiritual truths as she saw them, and her earthy sense of humor. In addition to being an author,

she was a mentor, a teacher of metaphysics, a consultant, a mother, a friend. Her love for her

family, friends, clients and students was deeply felt by all those around her. She gave her entire

being to everyone she encountered.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings Marcine Fausett, Barbara and Alvin, her

beloved husband Albert Kiser; her sons Jeffery Scott Yeterian and Bradley Keith Yeterian, and

her grandson Kirk Keith Yeterian.

She is survived by her brother Lewey James, her son Sean Theodore Yeterian and

daughter-in-law Siggy Yeterian of Sierra Vista, Arizona, and daughter Shannon Nevart Anderson

and son-in-law Aaron Anderson of Auckland, New Zealand. She is also survived by her

daughter-in-law Misty Yeterian of North Fork, California. She was blessed with three

granddaughters: Kaitlin Allen and Keely Allen of Auckland, New Zealand and Elizabeth Arev Yeterian Oliver of Shreveport, Louisiana; and two great grandchildren, Arthur Eaton and Eloise

Ballentine of Auckland, New Zealand.

She will never be forgotten by those who knew and loved her well.
