Dixie Lou Messier

It is with both sadness and a sense of peace that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Dixie Lou (Williams) Messier. Dixie, age 87, passed away peacefully on Sunday September 14, 2025 in Concord, New Hampshire. Dixie was born in Madison, Wisconsin on February 22, 1938. Before settling in Nashua, NH with her husband Roger Messier, Dixie had a full life in Madison pursuing her love of dance and working as ballet teacher.

After moving to Nashua, Dixie and Roger continued to grow their family and she remained in Nashua for over 65 years. Dixie worked at Sprague Electric for over 30 years where she had many valued friends and colleagues.

Dixie was preceded in death by her loving husband Roger Messier who passed away in June of 2006. She is survived by her daughter Alicia Silva and husband Greg, daughter Denise Marquis and husband Ronnie, daughter Michelle Goy and husband Tony, son Tim Messier, son Dan Messier and wife Kathy, son Steve Messier, son Jim Messier and wife Jeannie, and son Jason Messier and wife Margaret. She is also survived by her 14 loving grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.

Dixie will be remembered by all for her love and dedication to her family, her passion for gardening, her enjoyment of completing daily word search puzzles, her delight in a cup of coffee, and of course her avid appreciation of Kenny Rogers.

Dixie did not want any services, but instead requested a Celebration of Life. The Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday September 27th from 1pm to 4pm at The Westgate Village Clubhouse, 15 Westgate Xing Nashua, NH 03062.
