Dorothy "Dottie Ann" Williams, 77, of Morganton, NC, died Monday, February 26, 2024.
Born in Hickory, NC on June 8, 1946, she was the daughter of the late Henry Hoyle Williams and Dorothy Grace Shell Williams.
Dottie Ann spent the majority of her adult life in Charlotte where she raised her three sons and had many friends. After moving to Morganton, she became a member of North Morganton United Methodist Church where she was a member of the Wake Up Café Sunday School Class and enjoyed the church coffee club. She loved the Lord and her church, where she found a family. Dottie Ann was well known for her Halloween House and its decorations. She was a positive, encouraging person who loved life and had a great sense of humor. She always looked for the best in everyone. Dottie Ann loved the beach, sitting in the rocking chair on her porch, and playing Bridge, and she was loved by many friends.
She is survived by her sons, Jay Johnston (Julie), Richard Johnston, and Eric Johnston; grandson, Noah Johnston; siblings, Hank Williams (Sara), Grace Hartley, and Richard Williams (Melissa); and numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Dottie Ann was preceded in death by her brother-in-law, Gary Hartley; and precious dog, Thomas.
The family will receive friends from 2 to 3 p.m., Sunday, March 3, 2024 at North Morganton United Methodist Church. A celebration of life will follow at 3 p.m. in the church with Rev. David Rorie officiating.
