SIDNEY – Ginna Dix, 48, of Sidney, Maine, died unexpectedly on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2025, at Maine Medical Center in Portland with her family by her side. She was born in Augusta on Nov. 7, 1976, the daughter of Wayne Flagg and Nanci Stitt Kittredge.

Ginna graduated from Gardiner Area High School in 1995. While there she played Field Hockey and Basketball and participated in Outward Bound. Ginna then went on to study Nursing at St Anselm College in Goffstown, NH, where she graduated with her BSN in 2000. It was that year that she met the love of her life, Matthew Dix. They were married the following year on Sept. 22, 2001.

The summer after graduation Ginna was a nurse at Pine Tree Camp in Rome, Maine, a job she loved. Ginna then went on to work Waldo County Hospital in Belfast as a Registered Nurse where she worked for several years. After returning to the Augusta area, Ginna started her career in Oncology as a Registered Nurse at the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care. She loved nursing so much that she decided to further her education and received her Master of Science in Nursing from Purdue University in January of 2018. Once graduated she began her career as a Nurse Practitioner at the Harold Alfond Center and MaineHealth Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington.

Ginna loved spending time at their home in Rangeley with her husband and their three dogs, Quimby, Dodge and Asher. Ginna found joy in spending time at the beach in the summer and snowmobiling through the woods in the winter. She was happiest when she was “up to camp” surrounded by her family and friends, listening to music, and drinking a glass of Prosecco on Saturday mornings. She was often found sitting quietly on the couch with her dogs, a strong cup of coffee and reading a book.

She was predeceased by her grandparents Carroll and Syrena Flagg and Jack and Priscilla Stitt.

She is survived by her loving husband Matthew; her father and stepmother, Wayne and Joyce Flagg and her mother and stepfather, Nanci and Robert Kittredge; sisters Nicole Jehlen and husband Jay, and their children Harvey and Elsie, and Stephanie Freeman. She is also survived by her in-laws Betty and Dana Dix; sister-in-law Missy Fitch and her children Michael, Lindsey and Kiley; aunt Pam Flagg-Shaw; and Godparents, Paula Bellavance Thomas and Mike Eldridge.

Family was more than blood to Ginna and with that she leaves behind Kelly and Camdyn Lasselle, Carlee Hussey and Dawson, as well as so many friends that she cherished with all her heart.

There will be a gathering for family and friends on Sunday Feb. 16, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Augusta Elks #964 397 Civic Center Drive, Augusta ME.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
