I remember Dottie from going to church with her for many years at West Weaver Baptist Church. She was truly a BLESSING to have known. She will be greatly missed and never forgoteen. May GOD heal the hearts of those saddened by her passing.

All of the associates and staff of Wal-Mart Pharmacy Anniston are saddened by the loss of Mrs. Dawson and we will miss seeing her in our store. She and Mr.Dawson have been one of the bright spots in our day when they would come by to just say "hello" or to pick up their prescriptions. Our ongoing joke was that I was a "preacher" when they saw me years ago at Pizza Hut without my jacket on. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Dawson family.

Dottie and I have been friends as lone as I can remember. She was a wonderful person and I am sure she is resting in the arms of Jesus waiting for Willard to come.
