I loved Mrs. Miller so much. As a child, my parents played bridge with couples and I spent a lot of time playing at her house. Momma, Mrs. Pearce and she did lots of shopping trips to outlet malls in Myrtle Beach, Smithfield and Raleigh. I was dragged along on many of those as well. She was always thinking of others. Just a couple of years ago she was taking food to a sick friend, she was nearly 100 then! Christmas was always a festive time and boy she cooked some of the most delicious...

A friend, a legacy serving others, Loved the Lord Jesus Christ and her testimony he lived. We will miss Dorothy and will join her in heaven

I met Dotty 10 yrs ago at ABWA . She was the oldest and I the youngest and we light the candles together at our installation. Dorothy was always smiling and laughing, always happy . She moved to Ashley Park up the street fro me and I offered to drive her to our meetings. It was a true pleasure to know Dorothy in my life in Wilmington. God Bless her soul as she enters heaven to rest. And my Condolences to her family as they mourn their mothers passing. Boy's if you have her health and you'll...

Dorothy was a good friend to my mother Martha Alford, they were both very active at Sunset Park Baptist Church and in the same Sunday School class. I always enjoyed being around all those ladies as they were so energetic and usually up to something fun! Dorothy was there for me when my mother passed away 10 years ago this year.
May you find comfort in knowing that Dorothy was a special lady with special talents for helping others. My thoughts and prayer are with you all.

Dorothy lived beside my Aunt Nell for about 60 years. Every time I visited my aunt, I always made sure to visit with Dorothy. She was such a kind and delightful lady to be around. Through the years, her bright positive personality inspired me to look at life difficulties In a more positive manner. I will always remember our talks, her visits to see Aunt Nell at Trinity and all of her sweet and thoughtful ways. She endeared herself to so many. She was A true Southern Lady./

I knew Dot (as I called her) in earlier days when I babysat for Ronnie, who at the time was a small boy. Every Thursday she and Jack would go square dancing and I sat with Ronnie. She was such a beautiful person. My life friend, Mary, was her niece and that is really how I got to know her. She has lived a long and very fruitful life and I am proud that I got to know her. She was the best. God be with her family.

Dear Tommy & Kleist - So sorry to read about your loss. Dorothy was so much fun to be around and she and Jack were a vibrant pair and so much a part of our GOP family! She certainly had a long and fulfilling life with a wonderful multi-generational family. Our best wishes, Patti and Bruce Smithson
