Her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, called Dorothy “Dot” Mae (Trull) Young, 92, of Belmont, home, on Thursday February 1, 2024.

She was very active in her church. She attended the Church of God. She taught Sunday School and participated in multiple other church activities. Her heart was on children and many, if not most, of the activities she did were focused on children and youth. Dot had the privilege of seeing many of the children she ministered to become faithful Christian. Dot was also devoted to her family and others. She was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother and friend. Her children called her blessed.
