Dorothy Watts Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in 1935 in Mableton, GA, she was always a hard worker who enjoyed anything that kept her outdoors including gardening, farming, and yard work. She had a love for canning and giving away her harvests to others. As a child she learned to play piano by ear and served at various churches in need of a pianist. She was a devout woman of faith and displayed this through her care of others. For many years she cared for her elder sister, Eunice, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Freeman and Leila Duncan; her husband, Howard Watts; her four older siblings; and her great-grandson, Cory Sargent. She is survived by her daughter, Jeanette Mitchell; four grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.
