Their wonderful marriage lasted for 64 years.As a minister's wife, she spent those years assisting in all aspects of church ministry, teaching Sunday school every year to various age groups, working in the WMU, Vacation Bible School and being a true help-mate.Dottie's life was about others, and she showed it in her unselfish actions each day. Her Christian example taught lessons to all she encountered in the church and community.For over 40 years, her life in Easley was one of dedication to the members of the First Baptist Church.

Even in this transition to Texas, her ability to set examples and bring joy to her family and others continued.She was a Christian lady who loved her church, her family, her friends, her computer, chocolates, and more recently, the Houston Astros baseball team.Dottie was predeceased by her husband in 2004.
