Mrs. Irma Powell Dixon, age 100, of Hazlehurst, passed away on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at Pineland Personal Care Home.

She was born on January 26, 1925, in Jeff Davis County to the late John Cargile Powell and Eula Partin Powell. A native of Jeff Davis County, Mrs. Dixon moved to Camden, South Carolina, where she spent many years before returning to Hazlehurst in 2015.

Mrs. Irma was a devoted member of Lighthouse Christian Fellowship Church, where she deeply loved her church family and faithfully attended services.

Always eager to learn new things, she taught herself to play the harmonica at the age of 80, and her talent brought joy to those around her.
