November 2, 2024, 88, La Grange —

Dorothy Eason, 88, passed away on Saturday, November 2, 2024, while surrounded by her loving family. Dorothy was born in Wayne County to the late Jiro and Eula Butts Smith on October 31, 1936. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Bobby Ralph Eason.

Tirelessly devoted to her family, Dorothy found her greatest blessings while caring for them. Always happiest when she was doing for others, she dedicated her time and energy to showing her love in tangible ways. Spending time with them was always valuable, and some of her favorite times were when she spent the day shopping with her daughters.

Enjoying time in her yard, you could often find Dorothy maintaining her beautiful landscape—pulling weeds, pruning flowers, or just enjoying the beauty around her.

Dorothy’s faith in Jesus was strong, and she expressed her faith as a member of the Free Gospel Church. The fruits of her faith were evident to all who knew her as she showed the love of God to all she met.

A service of love and remembrance will be held by the graveside on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. at Fairview Cemetery. Friends are invited to visit the funeral home on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m., or Wednesday, November 6, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon.

Dorothy is survived by her daughters, Connie Waters, Dawn Teachey and husband, Terry, and Wanda Lane and husband, John; grandchildren, Travis Barrow, Brandon Barrow, Amber Jones, Crystal Jones, Kayla Worrell, Christopher Waters, and Dusty Waters; seven great-grandchildren; brothers, Kay Smith and wife, Betty Jo and Durwood Smith and wife, Donna; and a special friend, Louis Thompson.

The family wishes to extend their deep gratitude to the many caregivers who assisted and cared for Dorothy throughout her later years.
