January 6, 1924 – December 9, 2018
Dorothy B. “Dollie” Browning went to her heavenly home on December 9, 2018. Her last days were blessed by the presence of her children, Gail, Robert, Bonnie and Mary, as well as visits and phone calls with all her grandchildren and many other family and friends.
Dollie was born in Fox Hill, Virginia on January 6, 1924, the youngest of 7 children. In 1941 she married her husband, Charlton K. Browning, a Master Sergeant in the US Army Air Corps. As an Air Force family, they moved many times before settling in Orlando.
Known for her immense faith and giving spirit, she was active in the church and endured hardships and challenges with a positive attitude. After the death of her husband, Dollie earned her BA at UCF and began a career in social work. She was well known and loved as “Grandma Dollie” by the many children that she worked with during her time as a foster care coordinator.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Charlton K. Browning, daughter, Linda Lee Browning and son, Ralph Thomas Browning. She is survived by her daughters Bonnie Perry (Herb), Mary Warren (Ben), Gail Reiss (Ron), son Robert (Mistee), daughter-in-law Julie Browning, 9 grandchildren (Scott, Brad, Christy, Cathy, Tracy, Jennifer, Terrin and Carri), 12 great-grandchildren, and countless other family and friends.
Dollie will be laid to rest beside her husband in her hometown of Hampton, VA. Her family would like to express their gratitude to the staff and nurses of Twin Creeks and LifePath Hospice. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to LifePath Hospice in Tampa.
