She departed this life at Citizen’s Memorial Hospital in Bolivar, Missouri July 29, 2021, at 86 years of age.
Royline attended Appleton City Schools and lived in Appleton City all her life. She was united in marriage to Clyde Keith Dixon February 9, 1952, and they were blessed with four children. Royline was always busy raising her family as well as doing many other activities. She worked at Ellett Hospital for about five years as a nurse.

Throughout her life, Royline had made 30 full sized quilts and 30 baby quilts. She was proud of all the numerous stitches she’d sewed and shared making that many quilts for others. She was always cheerful, helpful, had a kind word, a smile, and a story to share.
