Kara was born May 29, 1963 in Georgetown, Texas to Harold and Barbara Dixon. She attended school in Brownwood and worked a large part of her life at Section Hand Steakhouse. Kara’s job at Section Hand was not only her livelihood but the owners, the staff and her customers were her second family. Kara’s favorite pastimes were crafts, wind therapy and river floating. She sat amazed at the beach in awe of God’s beauty and creation. She especially loved the beach destination taken on the Little Women’s Cruise. Being a hippie at heart, Kara loved peace signs, Pegasus and unicorns even though her favorite color was black. Kara’s heart belonged to her grandkids and she was always so proud of them.
