Dorothy Shatley Sisk

Our devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Dorothy “Mama Dot” Sisk, 86, of McLeansville, NC went home to be with her Lord and Savior on February 12, 2023. She was born in Wilkes County, North Carolina to the late Sanford and Lily Bell Shatley.

Dot was a loving charter member of Church Street Baptist Church for 55 years where she faithfully served and sang in the choir and earned her name “Mama Dot” by other church members. She loved to cook and bake for anyone she could when she wasn’t working in her flowers or spending time with her family. In 1954, she graduated from Rankin High School and following graduation, worked at Sears and Roebuck before working and retiring from Fireman’s Fund Insurance as an underwriter for over 30 years.

She is preceded in death by her brothers, Joseph, David, and Noah Shatley Jr, and sisters, Mamie Norman and Lucille Parker. She is survived by her husband of 27 years, James Sisk, daughters, Renee Summers (Larry) and Sophia Potter (Walter); son, Richard Sisk (Pam); grandchildren, Kayla Sawyer (Derek), Bryson (Emma), Tanner (Sara), Meredith and Rhett Martin; and great-grandchildren, Kinley, Adalynn, and Salem Sawyer.

Her life will be celebrated on Thursday, February 16, 2023 at Church Street Baptist Church, 3113 N. Church Street, Greensboro, NC at 2PM with visitation from 12-1:30 PM prior to the service. Interment will follow in Lakeview Memorial Park. Floral tributes are welcome or memorial contributions may be offered to the church building fund. Hanes-Lineberry N.
