Dixie Ann (Hall) Vaught, 87, of Spokane Valley, Washington, passed away peacefully on November 19, 2022, at Spokane Valley Hospital. Dixie was born in Whitepine, Montana, on November 11, 1935. She attended grade school there and graduated from Thompson Falls High School in 1953.

On April 25, 1954, she married Wilbur Vaught. They resided in Thompson Falls, Montana, for many years. During that time, Dixie worked at the courthouse for several years before running for Sanders County Clerk and Recorder and winning in 1971. She held that position until she retired in 1993.

Wilbur and Dixie adopted a daughter, Vicki, in 1974. They enjoyed going to her various sporting activities over the years, as well as camping, fishing, time spent with family at the lot in Trout Creek, bowling and being with their many friends and family.
