Dot was always a good friend to my mother. Preacher’s wives didn’t have a lot of friends who they could be themselves with. Dot was angel. I loved her and her family. She will not be forgotten. Emily Gibson

Dot and Hobo were young parents with Malcolm, Dorothy and Janet when we married in 1951.  Family gatherings were a lot of fun, usually at Gran's (Della Maine's) house.

It was before our daughters were born, so their three little ones were the center of attention.  There was always a baby to hold.

Many years later, after we moved to Albuquerque, they visited us and we posed with all the Acree boys and their wives in front of the covered wagon.  (One of the pictures in the tribute.)

Thank you for sharing the tribute with us.  We will be praying for all the family, for comfort in her passing and joy in expectation of another family reunion when we all move on to greener pastures.

Love, Frank and Elise

The staff of Whitley-Garner at Rosehaven Funeral Home and Memorial Park would like to extend our most sincere condolence to the Acree Family. We would like to thank you for entrusting the care of your loved one into our hands. Please remember you are not alone and we will always be here for you.

I met Dot, I called her Maw, in the mid 70’s. She was always beautiful & had a humor all her own. She loved John & her family, something very obvious to me everytime I was around. She always gave great “life” advice, some of which I truly didn’t understand until womanhood.  I know I never thanked her enough for always making me feel special when I was in their home, but I’m pretty sure she knew how I felt.  Sweet dreams Dot. 

Dot was always such a “lady” and full of life.  She touched the hearts of so many people.  And her dumplings...yum...

One of the sweetest people I have known. She was a good friend to my family - especially my mother. Can’t tell you how precious that is. She will be missed.

I am holding you all in my thoughts and prayers 

Lots of love, Emily

Our hearts are saddened by the loss of Mrs. Dot. We lived around the corner on Macon Drive. The Veals (across from you) are our cousins.  Many happy memories of the neighborhood and the folks who lived there. What a treasure that she’d become a Great-Grandmother and a Great-Great Grandmother on this earth! Prayers will continue for all of you during this difficult time.  

God hears our hearts . 

My deepest condolences in the loss of this sweet mama. Thoughts and prayers of comfort for all. 

Dot was such a wonderful mother in law to me. She loved her family unconditionally and always shared her faith. We know she is in Heaven and that the Lord holds her in the palm of His hand. MawMaw will be sorely missed and she was greatly loved.  

To the entire Acree Family:  I am sorry for the loss of your Mother, just to let you all know, that I will be remembering you all in my prayers, during this difficult time.  May God Bless....


Dearest Janet:  Our hearts are with you and your family at this very sad time.  We are certainly thinking of you and are so sad that we will not be able to be at the Service.  with our  deepest love.  larry and linda
