Dottye was born on February 20, 1953, to Edmond Taylor and Benona Dean Taylor in Jackson, MS. She was raised in the Jackson and Florence communities, but has lived in Braxton, MS for the past 15 years.

Dottye loved to shop, especially for antiques. She also loved gardening and cooking big meals for her family. Nothing better than a good meal and a good conversation to bring her joy. But above all Dottye loved her grandbabies her Australian Shephard’s and the quality time she spent with them. She will truly be missed.
