Dixie Portra


Dixie Donalynn Portra, 62, of Bainville died Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024, at the Roosevelt Medical Center in Culbertson. She was born July 11, 1962, in Williston, N.D., the youngest of five children of Larry and Jewel Portra. She spent her first year in Bainville before the family moved to Froid. She attended Froid Public School and later moved to South Dakota where she attended Job Corps classes. After returning home, she married Jeff Torgrimson in 1980. They had one son, Levi Torgrimson. After divorcing, she met Dave Granley who has been her life partner. She moved onto Dave’s ranch north of Bainville. She has always loved the outdoors with a passion for animals and a particular love of horses and the many dogs and cats she had over the years. If you were a stray animal or someone needing a place to stay for a while, you were always welcome at Dave and Dixie’s. She also had three “girls” she considered her adoptive daughters: Bree, Kayla and Kate. She loved big gatherings.
