Dorothy (Dot) R. Powell

Staff Reports's picture

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our loved one, Dot Powell on Aug. 13, 2014.

Born Sept. 10, 1928 in Woodruff, Dot was the daughter of the late Raymond and Viola Reeves, and widow of Nathaniel (Ted) Powell.

The long goodbye that began many years ago from a mind-robbing grip of Alzheimers is sadly over. Although the memory of family and friends had been taken away, her spirit will live forever in our hearts. There is a special place in heaven for Dot. She was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend.

Dot is lovingly remembered by two daughters and sons-in-law, Janet and Reggie Wade and Cathy and Earl Trotter all of Greer; four grandchildren whom she adored, Keith Trotter, Kenn (Marci) Trotter, Lisa (Robbie) McGill, and Amy (Paul) Free; four great-grandchildren, Danielle Trotter, Hannah McGill, Camille and Maddox Free; one sister, Joanne Reeves Peahuff and one brother, Roger (Sara) Reeves all of Greer.

She is predeceased by five brothers, B.F., Troy, John, Morris (Buck), and Bob Reeves, and two sisters, Varon Reeves Hindman and Geneva Reeves Williams.

Graveside services were held 3 p.m. Friday at Hillcrest Memory Gardens, conducted by Rev. Wade Trotter.

The family is at the home of a daughter, Janet Wade, 401 Center St., Greer, 29651.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Greer Community Ministries, P.O. Box 1373, Greer, 29652 or McCall Hospice House, 1836 W. Georgia Road, Simpsonville, 29680.

A special thanks to Fountain Inn Nursing and Rehab and McCall Hospice House for their loving care.
