We remember Ms. Dot for her love of creativity. She was able to make anything using her hands from beautiful cakes that she made for our family or beautiful hand crafted gifts. Her love for the Lord came through as she was a beautiful servant to all she came in contact with. Our prayers continue to be with your family as you treasure her memory. She is now whole and free from her earthly body and living with the Jesus she loved! Hathcock family
It was a blessing and a privilege to have known ( I called her Mrs Dot). She was so adorable and had a sweet spirit. I loved seeing her dressed up as a Princess and seeing her at some events. She will be missed. Prayers for you Danette and your entire family. Love you much

Mom, I don't know how to go on without you. You will forever be my princess, my heart, my best friend and my love. I'm forever grateful that I know you are in heaven with Jesus Christ, and have reunited with Dad, Joseph, your sisters and ALL who have entered the kingdom of Heaven. I'm even more grateful that I know I will be reunited with you soon enough. I love you sweetheart forever 💗❤️💓
Danette
It was a privilege and an honor to know Dot. She had such a warm and caring heart, also called to check on me and ask how myself and my family were doing. I was invited to numerous dinners at her house, where she and Danette went overboard with fabulous meals. There were many get togethers we shared with friends, celebrating birthdays and holidays. Her princess party is one I will never forget, she was beautiful and enjoyed all her friends and family. She cared enough to come to the passing of my two brothers and bring food, she was there with warm calls when I lost my daughter. I am so blessed that I got to see her in Hospice the week before she passed. I could not believe how she was her old self, with a warm and loving smile on her face and ticked with her new manicure. She will be greatly missed and her light will shine in our hearts forever.
I love you,
Dianne Carpenter
I'm really surprised memories have not crashed this tribute page!
Dott McBride. Even the name brings a smile! To know her was to love her!! I know I sure did!!
Every art or craft she ever saw, she'd say she wanted to learn it! I don't think there was any she did not master!
My favorite memory was our first trip to Shipshewana, Indiana- a small Amish town with an enormous outdoor flea market, near the Michigan state line. After rescheduling several times, we were finally on our way. Tuesday, Sept. 11. After the horrors of that morning, we caught up on the news. But the star-filled night was peaceful and serene, and we knew God was with us. She called me every Sept. 11 after that.
"I'd like to say"... the world is a little less bright without my dear friend. Truth is, the love she gave us all, always, but especially her last 2 weeks with us, have left me even more appreciative of her. She had tried SO hard to keep her quality of life, even with so many challenges. She was finally "done", not willing to endure her ever-diminishing health any longer, but was EAGER to finally reap her just rewards, to enter the embrace of her Lord and family and friends (and dogs!), for all eternity. Just hours after she left her failing, earthly body, we saw the full moon. It was a clear sign, to me, that she was in the heavens, and there was great celebration that she had arrived!
I already miss her, but I'm reveling in memories and the love she shared with everyone she met. Can't you just hear it? "WELL DONE, good and faithful servant! WELL DONE!!"
My mother worked hard to provide for my siblings and me. Once a year she would take us to O'Fallon Park for a day of fun in the river and fresh air in the mountains. The picnic was always fun and delicious. It is one of my favorite memories with her. Barbara Gene McBride Trujillo
I knew her as Dot, the mother of my wonderful aunt Danette. I met Dot at our family reunions and she is everything described in her obituary and more. I am so glad I had the privilege of knowing her. I can only imagine her now enjoying her reward that she worked toward all her life.
