We mourn the loss and celebrate the life of Dorothy Mae Lindsey Carneal. Dorothy, 91, of Dallas, Texas passed away on December 28th from a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Visitation 5 -7 pm Friday, January 5, at Restland, 13005 Greenville Avenue, Dallas. Requiem service will be at 10 AM January 6t, at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 848 Harter Road in Dallas, Texas. Reception immediately after the service. Burial 2 PM at Restland, in the Veteran’s section across Restland Rd/ Walnut St. from the funeral home and chapel.
Dorothy was born December 9, 1926, in Dallas, Texas, to Ida and Linus Lindsey. She was raised in Dallas with five loving sisters and one brother and attended Crozier Tech High School. After graduation, Dorothy began her long career in banking. She had a natural aptitude for figures and accounting and worked at several banks and was the Vault Teller at NorthPark Bank.
Dorothy married Charles Leonard Carneal in April 1946, and they were happily married for 67 years before Charlie died in 2014. They were active members of St. John’s Episcopal Church for 50 years, which they served with love and pride. Dorothy was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and avid bridge player. When Dorothy retired, she traveled with friends, visited with family, and played her beloved bridge – even winning a first place medal in a Dallas tournament.
Mo, as Dorothy was affectionately called, never sought attention, but preferred to be in the background of her husband’s and children’s lives in a supporting role. She could be counted on to cheer at games, attend performances, or provide other support when needed. She was ready with a smile or word of encouragement.
Before her Alzheimer’s disease became advanced, Mo liked to eat BBQ and chocolate cake, ride in the car, and just be in the presence of family. Over time, her memory of family faded, but her family never forgot her and how she enriched their lives.
Dorothy was known for her cooking and hated the idea of a guest not being served. She was known for her pound cakes and over time baked many for birthdays, bridge dates, or to console friends. Her cooking was Dorothy’s way of saying, “I love you.”
Dorothy is survived by her sons Charles Carneal Jr. and David Carneal, daughter Carolyn Hensler; grandchildren Lindsey Lohn Carneal Howard, Kelly Friede, Page Wells, and Matthew Carneal; great-grandchildren Charlee and Ryder Wells. Dorothy is also survived by her sisters Carol Armstrong and Louise Berry.
She was preceded in death by her husband Charles; parents; sisters Ruth Dodson, Sue Ealy and Avy Sears; and brother James Carroll.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. John’s Episcopal Church in her memory.
