Brenda A. Beaver Dixon died on Monday, March 29, after a brief illness. Brenda was born in Greenville, Alabama, on March 8, 1951, and spent the years of her childhood and early adulthood first in Aliceville, Alabama, and then in Meridian, Mississippi.
In the late 1970s, Brenda and her two sons moved from Meridian to Tuscaloosa for Brenda to attend The University of Alabama. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in rhetoric and communication in 1980 and a Juris Doctor degree from The University of Alabama School of Law in 1983, after which she began practicing law in Tuscaloosa. Brenda had many talents and pursued many varied interests; however, her passion was her work as a criminal defense attorney advocating for her clients.
Her parents, Winton H. Bieber, Tuscaloosa; Erma B. Severance, Meridian; and her brother, W. Harold Beaver, Meridian, preceded Brenda in death.
Brenda is survived by son, T. Roger Dixon II, Peterson; son, Roman P. Dixon (Ashley), McCalla; sister, Susie B. Smith, Tuscaloosa; six grandchildren, as well as aunts, uncle, cousins, nieces and nephew.
