Dolly Marsh

With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the passing of Dolly (Connie) Strickland, who passed away on November 11, 2026, at the age of 65.

Born on September 4, 1961, Connie was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. She was a woman whose kindness, generosity, and selflessness touched the lives of so many. Those who knew Connie knew that she had a heart of gold and a special way of making others feel cared for and welcomed.

Connie was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Lex and Helen Strickland; her baby brothers, Lester and Johnny Strickland; her paternal and maternal grandparents; and her beloved niece, Brittany Katelynn

She leaves behind her loving daughter, Angie (Bryan) Hutchison; granddaughter, Alexis Hutchison; grandson, Brayden Hutchison; and great-granddaughter, Ryver Perkins, who were all precious parts of her life. She is also survived by her brother, Thomas (Melody) Strickland, and her five sisters, Glenda Faye(Cipriano Jr.) Bucasas, Cher (Paul) Bailey, Penny (Buddy) Burch, Jody Spencer, and Linda (Ed) Clark, along with many extended family members and dear friends who will miss her tremendously.

For more than 30 years, Connie worked as a waitress, a career that was a true reflection of who she was as a person. She had a natural gift for taking care of others, and serving people was so much more than a job to her. It was simply who she was. She was one of the most selfless people you could ever meet, always willing to give, always putting others before herself, and never hesitating to show kindness to those around her. Her warm heart and caring spirit made an impression on countless people throughout the years.

Above all else, Connie loved her family dearly. Her family was her heart, and the love she gave them will remain with them forever. She cherished the moments spent with those she loved and held a special place in her heart for her cats, who brought her so much happiness and companionship.

Connie will be remembered for her generous heart, her caring nature, her selflessness, and the unconditional love she gave to those around her. Although her passing leaves an immeasurable emptiness in the hearts of those who loved her, the memories she created and the love she shared will live on forever.

She may be gone from our sight, but she will never be gone from our hearts. She was loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.
