Dixie Labat

Dixie Labat, age 82 died from natural causes in her sleep as her father did and she always wished for on     April 2, 2020.

Preceded in death by her parents Sylvester and Harriet Aus; brother Carl; daughter Frances; sons Paul, Tim and Pat. Survived by husband Bob and son Dave (Bernice); grandchildren Shannon, Tristan, Ashley, Hailey and Harley; great-grandchildren Lily, Patrick. Also, many relatives of the Aus and Labat families along with many friends from high school, college, cosmetic advisory work and especially golf friends of over 50 years.

Dixie graduated from Wheaton High School in 1956, Wheaton, MN, College of Saint Benedicts in 1960, St. Joseph, MN with a degree in Home Economics. Dixie married Bob in August of 1960, lived in St. Cloud, South Mpls., many years in Wayzata and the last twenty years in Minnetonka, MN.

Dixie and Bob also traveled extensively throughout the U.S. with the boys and also took trips to the Caribbean, Europe and Asia, and only once without golf clubs!  She was a beautiful and wonderful wife, a devoted and great mother and a friend to many. She had a great passion for golf, playing in leagues, tournaments and any time she could with friends, family and on trips. She played on many courses remembering virtually every shot and win, always competitive but easy to play with as golf was fun-she was preparing for another fun season of golf when she died to try the courses in heaven. Dixie had an incredible deep Catholic faith, loved her church and sacraments. Her strong faith in God allowed her to accept many trials and challenges. It also gave her the joy to live life to the fullest and leave all of us with many joyful memories. Dixie was unique and she will be missed.
