Dorothy M. Young

Dorothy Marie Terry Young, age 77 of the Grave Hill Community, gained her Heavenly body with her family by her bedside on Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at her home.  She was born in Scott County, Tennessee on September 20, 1940 to the late Caney and Maudie Terry.

Dorothy was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother.  She spent her life as a homemaker and dedicated mother.  Through her years, she never met a child that didn’t call her mommy or mamaw within a few minutes.  Dorothy’s love for children was her life’s passion.  Her candle will forever burn in the hearts and minds of all that knew her.  She was a member of the Black Oak Baptist Church.
