!REFERENCE: 2024 Detroit News and Detroit Free Press, Detroit, MI, obituary, "Eleanor Brooke Tucker Dixon, a native of Detroit who graduated from Cranbrook Schools (at the time Kingswood) has died following a short stay in hospice. She was 90 and died 27 Dec 2023, three years to the day after the passing of her husband of 64 years, John Briton Dixon, a native of Birmingham. She had been living in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Brooke, who went by her middle name, grew up in Detroit, was the oldest of three siblings born to John Wright Tucker and Eleanor Henry Tucker. She spent the last two years of high school at Kingswood, received a degree in history from Duke University, followed by a year in Europe, mostly Paris, teaching English and working as a legal secretary. While she met some men in Paris, they weren't just right. And who should show up on her doorstep the day she returned from Europe? John Dixon, who she had dated while in college. She and John Dixon married in 1956. They had five daughters over eight years. Brooke followed John as his career in finance took the family to Geneva, Switzerland; Mexico City; back to Birmingham and then Atlanta. While in Switzerland, the family lived in a farmhouse in the community of Commugny and the children attended village schools. She also had her own career: she obtained a master's in early childhood education from Oakland University, ran the Oakland County Head Start program and wrote a children's book about a newt. Following the family's move to Atlanta, she had a long career with the Georgia Department of Human Resources, managing programs involving migrant health, sexual assault and children's medical services. She was deeply involved in the Episcopal church wherever she lived: from Christ Church Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills and the church in Geneva to All Saints Episcopal Church in Atlanta and St. John's in Bethesda, Maryland. She had friends of all ages and loved to entertain, throwing large parties at her house. She even had a closet in her home in Roswell, Georgia, just to hang her many tablecloths. She was talented at knitting, sewing, needlepoint, and cooking. She played the piano every day for years. And every Sunday, she would write a weekly letter to each of her children, starting when they went off to camp. She loved jokes and pranks, and she and John were world travelers: China, India, Russia and Europe. But her husband, children and 13 grandchildren were her greatest joy. And some of her happiest summers were spent at her home in Northport, Michigan, where she entertained friends and family and helped with Vacation Bible School at St. Christopher's Episcopal Church. She loved to make strawberry jam with fruit from the Leelanau Peninsula, picnics on Lake Michigan and cocktail hour on the patio. She opened her home for the summer to her grandchildren, allowing two of them to work at the local grocery store. She is survived by her daughters and their husbands: Jennifer Dixon and Carlos Osorio; Sally and Brown Russell; Susan and John Quill; Betsy and Steve Whitaker, and Laura and Mike Jackson. She is also survived by her grandchildren and spouses: Catherine Osorio, Maggie Osorio Glennon and Blair Glennon, and Hunter Osorio; John, Andrew and Sara Russell; Eliza Quill Busby and Alan Busby, and Caroline Quill; Sarah, Emma and Erni Whitaker; Nick Franklin and Kyle and Anna Jackson. Her first great-grandchild is due this spring. A memorial service is planned for this spring at All Saints Episcopal Church in Atlanta.", https://www.freep.com/obituaries/det127787
