Dollie M. Baldwin of Nottingham, MD passed away peacefully on August 17, 2025, at 74 years old.

Born on November 13, 1950, in Bluefield, WV, Dollie attended Park Central High School. She served as head cheerleader and majorette, showcasing her early love for performing. Her talent and passion for dancing took her to New York City, where she performed with several dance troupes, including the Rockettes.

Dollie later moved to Washington, D.C., where she held many roles throughout her life. She worked as an assistant to the mayor, ran her own modeling company, and served as a mortician. Later in life, she earned an associate's degree in early childhood development from Virginia Western Community College and became a teacher, dedicating herself to guiding and nurturing young children.

Above all, Dollie was most proud of her role as a mother and grandmother. She is survived by her two daughters, three sons, twenty-one grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren. She is also survived by a brother and a sister.

She was preceded in death by her parents, a sister, and a daughter.

Dollie will be remembered for her devout faith, infectious laughter, generosity, and her love for the color pink.

Dollie and I talked almost everyday after my return from Africa we prayed together and even send each other packages. She was always so upbeat and chipper. She kept me laughing and I kept her giggling. We´d even plan a trip to Jamaica for 2026. I will miss her greatly rest in peace Dollie and know that God got you my condolences to her family and her friends and all that is spent a moment of time with her, her presence will never be forgotten.

Dollie and I were childhood neighbors and classmates. Were enjoyed being band members and majorettes along with our piers at Park Central High School. Dollie, Gayle, Dawn, Thelma and I loved our dance classes ar the Salt School of Dance. Dollie also had a beautiful voice. She brought so much joy to my mother on the day we worshiped with her in Roanoke. She was a powerful servant of God who eloquently shared His glory on the social media. Her strength rendered her much of the joy she shared so sweetly with others. She will be missed. Love, Laurice
