OBITUARY:
On April 24, 2012, God called one of his beautiful angels home, Dollie Love. Dollie was born in a rural area of Camilla, Georgia. She grew up working in the tobacco fields. Later, she worked at the Dairy Queen near Camilla Consolidated School. After a brief stay in Florida, she moved and made Brooklyn, New York, her home. Following trade school she began to work as a Secretary in the microbiology lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She worked there for thirty-five years; never late and never called in sick. What a woman she was.
She also had other duties, such as president of the usher board, Sunday School teacher, and cook at the Holy House of Prayer. Whenever the church doors were open , she was there doing or planning something. What a woman she was.
As a mother, she always supported in whatever her children was striving for. As a mother, she always gave her family the best that money could buy. As a mother, she always encouraged her children to "do the right thing", and it will all work out fine. As a mother, she loved her children equally in a unique way. As a mother, her children never heard her raise her voice... That sweet sound of her voice will stay with her children forever. What a woman she was.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Elizabeth Dewberry and Alex Lumpkin, Sr.; husband, James Love; five brothers, Deacon Alex Lumpkin, Jr., Henry Lumpkin, J. D. Lumpkin, Albert Lumpkin, and Eddie Lee Dewberry.
She leaves to cherish her memories three children, Eddie C. Dewberry (Earnestine) of Camilla, Georgia, Seketha Cannon of Atlanta, Georgia, Jerrold Love (Rachel) of Cary, North Carolina; five sisters, Lucile Grier, Ella Clayton, Adell Copper, Annie Beard all of Miami, Florida, and Zilthia Dorsett of Moultrie, Georgia; four brothers, Dona Lumpkin, James Lumpkin of Miami, Florida, Johnny Lumpkin (Rose) of Camden, New Jersey, and Charlie Dewberry (Marion) of Brooklyn, New York; nine grandchildren, Avery Brown, Terrance Dewberry, Travis Reese, Courtney Dewberry, Byran Ellis, David Cannon, II, Park Cannon, Isabella Love, Elsie Love and Wanda Stewart; fourteen grandchildren; six great-great grandchildren; a host of other relatives and friends.
Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that once we shared
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all part of the master plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go the friends we know.
Laugh at all the things we used to do
Miss me, but let me go.
