Dorothy "Dot" Spoon Humble

Dorothy was a gifted educator. She touched many lives throughout her career, teaching science at Elon, Smith, Altamahaw-Ossipee, and Western Middle School, serving as an Assistant Principal at Southern Middle School, and ending her formal teaching career as Principal at Graham Middle School. She was very active in her church throughout her life including serving in the WMU, singing in the choir, and teaching adult Sunday School classes at Mt. Zion Baptist Church and Pleasant Hill Christian Church.

After retirement Dorothy remained active in her community as a Master Gardner, Election Judge, and Scholarship Committee member for the ACCA. Her most cherished role was that of wife, mother, and grandmother. She spent countless hours caring for her family, both young and old.
