Dorothy Mae Jackson Williams was bom May 23, 1912 in McDuffie County to the late Edward and Mattie Jackson. She was the last of nine children to be called to her heavenly home. At an early age, she was baptized at the First Mt. Moriah Baptist church in Appling, Georgia, where she was a dedicated member.
After moving to Augusta, she joined the Elim Baptist Church by letter in 1936 under the pastorate of the late Rev. Robert L. Boyd. She was a faithful member of the Usher Board, Sunday School, Prayer Service and Bible Study. She was especially faithful to the works of the Senior Mission Society and the Golden Ages Luncheons until her health declined. She never refused a chance to work in the church helping out with the Youth Activities, Vacation Bible School, in the kitchen after Sunday services or during special activities because of being too busy or tired. It gave her great joy and a feeling of accomplishment to do God's will. She always put Christ first in everything she did.

Dorothy was united in matrimony to the late Deacon

ChiCdren's
Your gentle face and patient smile we recall with sadness
The voice that loved us well and true, But
You are not forgotten loved one, Nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memory last We will remember you
We miss you now, our hearts are sore, As time goes by we will miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face, No one can fill your vacant place Author unknown

A Family(Prayer
Oh Lord, be gentle with her. Be merciful and kind;
For those she left behind, walk slowly with her, Lord, As you take her to the Promised Land.
Stay sweetly in her ears and when she cries of missing us
Gently wipe away her tears. And, Lord, when what we've asked is done,
We pray our hearts you'll touch. And let her know we love her so,
And we miss her just as much.

AFTER THIS I looked, and behold a door was opened in heaven; and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will
shew thee things which must be hereafter.
