Dorothy Jean McFaul, age 92, of Mabank, Texas. She went to her heavenly home on Monday, May 10, 2021. Dorothy was born June 30, 1928 in Gilmer, Texas which is in Upshur to John “Harvey” and Annie Attaway. She attended and graduated from Union Hill High School in 1946. Dorothy was a kindhearted woman and devoted wife to her husband Allen “Dink” McFaul. They were married in October of 1947 and shared thirty-nine wonderful years together. Dorothy’s passion was getting the privilege of taking care of, giving most of her time to, her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed cooking for her family to show her appreciation and love. In her down time, she enjoyed reading a good book, sewing for her close ones, and collecting angels. Dorothy was a member of the Red Hat Ladies and looked forward to her weekly “TOPS” meetings. She would also look forward to weekly game days of cards and dominos. Dorothy will truly be missed.
Since Dorothy loved to read, the family has requested books to be donated to the Kemp Care Center and Tri County Library.
