MS. DOROTHY VIRGINIA CONLEY, affectionately known as “Dot,” gained her wings and departed this life suddenly June 27, 2024, in VCU-Community Memorial Hospital, South Hill, VA. She was born July 3, 1943 in Mecklenburg County, VA to the late Charlie and Martha Ann Coles Conley; she was the 12th of 13 children. Besides her parents, she was also preceded in death by her eleven siblings- Frank Conley, Julia Epps, Edna Morse, Mildred Conley, Josephine Epps, Mamie Conley, John Conley, Daisy Overby, Charles Conley, Joyce Britton and Hilda Jones and her longtime friend- William “Bill” Logan.

At an early age Dorothy accepted Christ in her life and remained a member of Greenwood Baptist Church, Boydton, VA where she was a Deacon, a member of the Usher Board and the Hospitality Committee. She also was a member of the Wednesdays Noon Day Prayer Group.

Dorothy was a 1964 graduate of the former West End High School. After high school, she began working at Lake Sleepwear, Boydton, VA until her retirement. After retirement, she continued to support her community by becoming an aide/caregiver and fulfilling the needs of others.

Dorothy was very proud of maintaining an immaculate home, filled with her passion for elegant home decor and sewing. In her spare time, she loved to cook and sew. She was very hospitable, sharing her home and pantry with family, friends, and neighbors. No one was a stranger at her door. Dorothy was a devoted daughter and shared in the care of her aged parents until their demise. While not having children of her own, she delighted in being a big sister to two of her nieces- Mildred Conley Banks and Janet Conley Wright; both of them cherished spending time with her and enjoyed her warm, loving care and attention.

Dorothy leaves to mourn one sister- Beatrice C. Hayes of South Hill, VA; devoted caregivers’ nieces- Celestine “Tina” Hayes of Brodnax, VA and Syndra Jones Yancey of Richmond, VA; sister-in-law, Virginia “Bea” Conley of South Carolina; her special niece and great niece- Leslie “Karen” Conley and Asia Conley; devoted friends- Brenda Gregory and Debra Palmer, both of South Hill, VA and Regina and Herman Bracey of Bracey, VA, and a host of other nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
