Warren Field Dixon ’42

Body

Warren died Aug. 6, 2000, of a heart attack at a nursing facility in Dallas. A retired obstetrician, he delivered babies for over 40 years at Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas.

Preparing for Princeton at Lawrenceville, he majored in biology and was a member of Campus Club. After spending three and a half years in the Army Medical Corps, in the American and European theaters, during WWII, he earned his MD from Northwestern U. medical school in 1951.

He selected ob/gyn as his specialty because that seemed to be the happy side of medicine. He was also pres. of the Lion's Club and was active in children's charities.

To his widow, Patricia; his daughters, Debbie and Pam; his son, Warren; his four grandchildren, the class extends its profound sympathies.
