Dottie Edmonds, Columbus, MS—Dottie Edmonds has passed away on August 30, 2024, and her loved ones are mourning the loss of a devoted mother and friend. Dottie faced many health challenges in the past year, including a massive stroke in August 2023 that left her with significant deficits. She was cared for by her daughter Amanda Brownlee after the passing of Dottie’s husband in October 2023. Despite the hardship, Dottie continued to express her faith, even attending worship in August and praising God as best as she could.
Her daughter Amanda has been overwhelmed with both grief and financial strain. Dottie had no life insurance, and her cremation costs are set at $3,500, with no additional services planned. Amanda has organized a fundraiser to assist with these expenses, as well as legal fees related to gaining custody of her eight-year-old brother, who has tragically lost both parents within the past year.
As of now, $1,150 of the $4,500 goal has been raised, with donations coming from community members like Laura Hernandez, who generously contributed $1,000. Others, such as Danielle Davis and Nicole Barrentine, have also offered their support.
Friends and members of the community have taken to Facebook to share their sorrow and offer help. Amanda Brownlee posted, "Please help during this time and feel free to share, if you would like to help for funeral only you can donate to Lowndes Funeral Home for Dottie Rhoades Edmonds. Anything is greatly appreciated." Tommy Havard, Ethan Boggs, and Josiah Beougher also expressed their sympathies.
We are deeply saddened to hear of Dottie Edmonds’ passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Amanda Brownlee and her family during this incredibly difficult time. May Dottie’s memory bring comfort to those who loved her.
