Life story
Dixie Saathoff was born Dixie Stufflebeam. She married Dale Saathoff, and the couple made their home in the Cedar Falls, Iowa area.
Dixie was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, in the Revolutionary Dames chapter in Waverly, Iowa. The organization placed a marker at her grave after her death on March 25, 1987.
Dale outlived her by a few years and died on October 30, 1990. Their grandson Gregory later remembered them as his grandparents, so their family carried on after them.
