WAXHAW, NC ~ Mrs. Dorothy “Dot” Grant Huey, age 100, passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday, January 8, 2020. She was born July 4, 1919 in Rock Hill, SC, a daughter of the late Frank Grant and Mattie Hudson Grant and was the wife of the late Harry Boyce Huey, Sr. At intervals throughout her life, she worked in the textile industry at JP Stevens Mill for 35 years. Her hobbies included reading, watching TV, cooking, sewing and crocheting. Since losing her vision, she began listening to audio tapes of books that she enjoyed. After moving to the Unity Community, she became a member of Unity ARP Church and has been a member for over 73 years. Dot served as Treasurer of her circle for many years and was always very active in the women ministries of the church, serving as Vice President in 1973 and 1976, and as President in 1974 and 1975. Dot accompanied youth groups and music conference attendees to Bonclarken, where she cooked three meals a day for them. For as long as her health permitted, she was one of the first to volunteer to prepare meals for those involved in work projects at the church. Dot held the district honor of being the oldest member of Unity Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. God blessed her with a great family and a heart of gold. Her work and influence in Unity ARP Church is a testimony of her love for Jesus Christ.
Dot is survived by two sons, Harry Boyce Huey, Jr (Nancy) of Young Harris, GA, and James Calvin “Jimmy” Huey (Dianne) of Blackstock, SC; a daughter, Violet Huey Belk of Waxhaw, NC; nine grandchildren; sixteen great grandchildren; and a large extended family.
