I will always remember the sleepovers at her house in TX the most! One time, she gave all of us girls makeovers and washed our hair with Paul Mitchell. She would get excited and exclaim, "Amazing! Look at how clean it feels! Look at how it makes your hair curl!"

Our sleepover in Memphis shortly after she moved back was also pretty memorable. Including the trip to Hawaii. She woke up every day at 4:30 to see the sunrise and let us sip pineapple wine at night. 

I have always admired her zest for life and ability to make people laugh. I carry that with me every day and try to live my life with the same type of enthusiasm. I will never forget her and the influence she had on my life. 

You will be missed, Miss Dotty. 

My condolences to the family. Jeremy and Stacy you had a great mother. She was a great cook, had a big heart, a giving person, great listener and would tell you like it is. She did great things for my family. I will always remember the good times and the fun we had. Love ya'll 

 Miss Dotty will be missed by so many. I'm grateful for all the laughter, hugs, and fond memories. It's hard to imagine walking in a room and not seeing her bright eyes and wild smile or getting teased with a sharp witticism. 

I just love this goofy photo from our high school reunion in Memphis. I treasure these times together. The whole Sidle family is in Emily's and my thoughts and prayers!

Dottie was my first band booster president at the Appling Middle School when it first opened.  I was a brand new band director right out of college at a brand new middle school in 1995.  She had an 8th grade daughter and a 7th grade son who were both in my program and continued in the Bartlett band.   Dottie helped us start the program and raise money for new instruments and eventually got new uniforms in 1998, only 3 years later.  She was my friend, my organizer, my cheerleader, and almost like a second mom since I didn't have family in town.  I loved her energy and go getter spirit.  She was always full of ideas and opinions and I loved her so much!  She was one special lady!  Praying for Stacy and Jeremy and the family during this time!  

I first met Dotty in 1983! She and her husband Bill were my husband Marty’s sponsor in Germany. They had 2 small children Stacy and Jeremy and I babysat for them! My first impression of her was she is a very strong woman and wonderful mother and wife! Her husband and children were her whole life! She was an excellent cook! I remember fried chicken was her specialty! I remember she was quite the character we laughed a lot! She used to say “bless her heart, good lord and ya’all come on down”. She was the most strongest woman I have ever known and she made a huge impact on my life! I look through her pictures and remember the fun person that she was! Rest In Peace our good friend! Tell Bill we said hello and we love you both❤️

What a wonderful pictorial tribute to Dotty.  My sincere condolences to the family.
Susan
