From Willow Creek Owner Christian Dennison and Dawn's sister Gayla (Wix) Boyd:
Today, Dawn Wix retired from Bates County Industries (BCI) after 37 years of employment at shelter workshops. Dawn graduated from Green Valley State School in Springfield at the age of 21.
She was then employed at the Tri-County Workshop in Butler, when it was across from the old jail. Dawn has been employed ever since. She worked a short time at Casco in Harrisonville, before returning to BCI to finish out her employment.
Dawn loved her job at the workshops and always had a smile on her face. BCI hosted a retirement party for her today. She will definitely be missed.
