GREENSBORO - Mary Dorothy Jinnette Brazelle Slaughter, of Greensboro, left this earth, Monday, February 12, 2007, at Moses Cone Hospital.

Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. Wednesday, February 14, at Lambeth-Troxler Funeral Service Chapel, with Deborah Suess, Pastor of First Friends Meeting, officiating. Burial will follow at Guilford Memorial Park.

Dot was born Wednesday, April 24, 1918, in Goldsboro, the second living child of the late John Carson and Anne Lillian Outland Jinnette. Dot also lived in Greensboro, Richmond, Va., and Nakina, and returned to Greensboro to spend her last years near her family. She was a loving mother, a wise and caring wife, best sister, dear aunt, and most thoughtful friend. She was a sharp, intelligent, capable lady with a light in her eye, a spark in her heart and she lived the work of God. All those who knew her will miss dot immensely. She gave her heart and love to us all, and we shall always have her endearing kindness and sweetness to remember her by. A lovelier lady never lived.

Her first husband, Stuart E. Brazelle (World War II) preceded Dot to heaven, as did her second husband, Burton L. Slaughter; an infant sister, Sarah Jinnette; her older brother, Allen J. Jinnette; and her youngest sister, Margaret J. Barrow.

Arthur, of Richmond, Va.; grandchildren, Stuart E. Brazelle II, Mack R. Brazelle, Jay Brazelle and his wife, Eliza Diener-Brazelle; her younger sisters and brother-in-law, Ester J. Tilley, Ina Brower and her husband, Doug; her dear and caring niece, Rebecca McGlothilin and her husband, Roy; niece, Rae Bartlett and her husband, Russ and a tremendous number of other nieces, nephews, neighbors and friends.

The family will receive friends from 7 until 9 tonight at Lambeth-Troxler Funeral Service.
