• Name	Dixie Madie McLemore  [1, 2, 3]

  Gender	Female
  Death	25 Apr 2009	Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina   [3]
  Notes	Robert McLemore Butler's notes shows that Dixie Madie McLemore was born to Dennis Lofton McLemore and Odella Mae McMILLIAN on 26 Jan 1826 (sic). She was four years old as of the 1930 census, so it would have been 1926 when she was acutally born. He cites Bk 13, p 491.He later shows the DOB to have been 5 Jan 1926. He further shows her to have married Forrest Reed WILKERSON III, with the date of marriage being 7 January 1921 in Bladen County. As this could not be the date of marriage (based on their ages), I assume it is actually the date of birth for Forrest. Obituary Dixie McLemore Wilkerson Mrs. Wilkerson, 83, of Charlotte, NC, died peacefully on April 25, 2009 at her home. She was born on January 7, 1926 in Sampson County, NC, a daughter of the late Dennis Lofton and Idella McMillan McLemore. She was also preceded in death by her beloved husband of 58 years, Forrest Reid Wilkerson, Jr., sister Elizabeth Porter and brother Edgbert McLemore. Dixie was a graduate of Roseboro High School and Pineland College in Salemburg, NC. She had worked for First Citizens Bank, Parnell-Martin Co. and McClancy Seasoning. She was a long-time member of Carmel Presbyterian Church, Carmel Country Club and the 18 holer's at the club. Dixie had a passion for both her golf game and playing bridge. Mrs. Wilkerson is survived by her sons, Reid Wilkerson and wife, Mary Ellen, of Charlotte and their sons, Forrest Wilkerson, IV and David Wilkerson, Mac Wilkerson of Oak Island, NC and his daughter, Mary Wilkerson; step children Bobbie and Joey Beattie; sister-in-law Edna McLemore; and several nieces and nephews.
