DOROTHY MAE TOWNSEND

Dorothy Mae Townsend of Snow Hill, Maryland, affectionately known to most as “Dot Mae,” began her story of life on December 5, 1934. She departed this life at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin, Maryland, on Friday, August 23, 2019 after a brief illness. She was born to the late Oakley Dennis, and the late Ella Harmon, both of Snow Hill, Maryland.

Mrs. Townsend was a member of Ebenezer United Methodist Church, where she served as a devoted usher (President) and as a member of the choir.

Prior to her retirement, she worked in the poultry and hospitality industry for many years. She was a perfectionist and took pride in everything she did. Dot Mae was diligent in her work for the Lord and worked in multiple leadership roles in her church, with her favorite being a prideful President of the Usher board. She made sure she or a representative would fellowship in the numerous Usher Day activities on Delmarva.

Left to cherish her memories are her sons Theodore (Makita) Townsend of Pocomoke City, Maryland, Maurice (Sonzenea) Townsend of Baltimore, Maryland, Garry Townsend of Salisbury, Maryland, and Kevin (Lavion) Bratten Sr, of Pocomoke City, MD. Alongside her children, she will be greatly missed by her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren.

In addition to her father and mother, Dorothy Mae was preceded in death by four children, two daughters, Ochie Milbourne and Beulah Townsend and two sons, George Townsend III and Karl Townsend; two sisters, Lillian Wharton and Dollie Overton; one brother, Arthur Harmon; and a special sister-cousin, Delores Waters.
