Mescal “Dixie” Sell

1929 – 2019

Mescal “Dixie” Sell, 89, of Boonville, Missouri, passed away March 6, 2019 at Pinnacle Regional Hospital in Boonville.

Mrs. Sell was born in Noble, Missouri on May 11, 1929 a daughter of Hardy and Martha Dunnegan Frazier.  She married Gerald Vivian Sell in St. Charles, MO on September 8, 1950.  Gerald preceded her in death on July 1, 2018 after sixty-seven years of marriage.

Dixie was born and raised in Noble, Missouri and had worked for General Electric and the Veteran’s Administration for many years.  Gerald and Dixie were members of the Boonville Church of Christ.  She was always willing to help others in need and loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  She enjoyed cooking, canning and baking cobblers and pies.  I was a sure thing that you never left her house hungry or without a jar of jelly or apple butter.  During their retirement Gerald and Dixie enjoyed traveling in their airstream trailer.
