Dodie was of strong faith. She loved her Lord and family dearly. She also loved sports and was a basketball, volleyball and softball player even into adulthood. She was also an avid Alabama fan. She loved to tell jokes and was even known to play jokes on people. She loved to play board games and bake for her family and friends. She was dearly loved and will be deeply missed by all.

The family is forever grateful.
