It is with deep sadness that I write this tribute. On Behalf of the Coffs Coast Tigers Football Club I would like to pass on our deepest Sympathies to the Urunga Raiders FC committee on the loss of your President Dixie and her daughter Rachel.
Dixie was a lovely lady who helped me out on a few occasions. She was efficient and always a pleasure to communicate with. Dixie was passionate about football and always went above and beyond to help wherever and whoever she could. Dixie and Rachel both will be sadly missed. Rest in Peace.
Sending many thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

It was with the deepest sadness that we heard of the passing of Urunga FC President Dixie Erlandsen and her daughter Rachael.
With the interactions between our two clubs over the past couple of years, I quickly found out that Dixie was an awesome lady with a wonderful passion for football and especially for the kids playing the ‘beautiful game’. I understand her daughter Rachel was an equally kind, passionate and intelligent young lady with the world at her feet.
At this saddest of times, sincere sympathies and thoughts from all at Sawtell FC go out to Dixie and Rachel’s family, along with the players, members and committee of Urunga FC.
On behalf of North Coast Football and the local football community, I express our utter dismay and sorrow at the tragic loss of Dixie and Rachel. It is extremely sad to lose anyone in such circumstances, but particularly someone who has given back so much to the local community. Our sincere thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to the family at this sad time and to all who have been affected by this tragedy.
On behalf of WUFC we would like to pass on our condolences to the family. This is truly a tragic event and the world has lost 2 wonderful people. Our thoughts and prayers are with their family at this point in time.

On behalf of all from Nambucca strikers FC we wish to pass on our heartfelt condolences to Dixies family and Football Club.
Dixie was a wonderful and passionate supporter of football not only in her club but ours as well. Her dedication for the development of junior players was awe inspiring, and her memory will live on within all members of our club.
As our closest neighbours we wish to offer our services to all of you for whatever you need please don’t hesitate to ask
We are all thinking of you at this difficult time
Regards

On behalf of all participants in the Football Far North Coast region, we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and broader community on the tragic passing of Dixie and Rachel. We hope that some strength and support can be found from the memories and friendship for those who are so sadly grieving their loss. We offer our condolences during this difficult time.
Such a devastating loss, I hope that I’m supported here, but I think it would be very respectful if we had a double black arm band for 6 a side this Thursday for Dixie and Rachel.
And a minute silence before each game.
Such a calm and positive presence and an absolutely tireless and energetic worker for our club. Your leadership will be sadly missed but never forgotten Dixie. RIP.
Such a wonderful warm considerate person. Dixie provided enthusiasm and drive as President of Urunga FC and this was after many years as a stalwart of the Urunga Juniors. She forged many close friends and we will all miss her greatly. Her daughter Rachel followed in Dixie’s footsteps as an intelligent and caring and considerate young person. The Club extends its sorrow and sympathy to Halvo her partner and also a club stalwart and her son Andrew and daughter Jess.
