Dixie was raised on a farm outside of Utica where she attended country school and helped her parents on the farm. Horses were one of Dixie's favorites animals on the farm, which she rode all over the country. She would later attend Utica High School where she was active in volleyball, track, cheerleading and was the prom queen. She graduated with the Class of 1955. While attending high school she started dating the love of her life, John Giebelman.

On November 20, 1955, the couple was united in marriage in Utica, Nebraska and to this union four children were born. The couple lived and worked in Utica, Crete, Seward and Norfolk, NE. It was in Norfolk that they owned the Giebelman Service Station for many years. They were always on the move either at a rodeo, dance or camping. Dixie enjoyed listening to country music, exercising, watching television, sitting outside and socializing with friends. She loved her family and spending as much time as possible with her grandchildren.
