Barbara Anne Hixon, 65, of Fayetteville, PA, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 12, 2011 in the Chambersburg Hospital, after a courageous 6-month battle with cancer. Born on August 5, 1946 in Orchard Park, NY, she was a daughter of the late Robert T. and Marian L. Clauss Noll.

She is survived by her loving husband of over 43 years, Robert A. Hixon, whom she married on December 26, 1967; three children, Scott Hixon (wife, Tracy, and sons, Christopher and Nicholas) of Acworth, GA, Andie Snyder (husband, Matt, and sons, Jack and Drew) and David Hixon (wife, Sara, and children, Ethan, Landon, and Mallory) all of Charolotte, NC; sister Jeanne Garich (husband, Peter) of Smiths Grove, KY; mother-in-law, Ruth E. Hixon of Santa Barbara, CA; and other extended family.
