Dorothy L. (Ramsey) McCarty went home to be with the Lord on February 21, 2015. Dorothy was born to Frank D. and Sarah E. (Melton) Ramsey on December 8, 1924 in St. Louis, Missouri. She graduated from Naylor High School and married Robert Beakley McCarty in Naylor on August 11, 1946. She lived most of her life in Poplar Bluff, Missouri where she worked as a secretary in the Poplar Bluff High School and as an administrative assistant. She was a member of the Poplar Bluff Artist’s Guild and won several awards for her paintings. She was also an accomplished seamstress and sewed for many clients. Mrs. McCarty enjoyed knitting and crocheting and won awards for this as well. She made beautiful sweaters and caps for many of her newborn great-nieces and great-nephews. Dorothy resided her last few years at Presbyterian Manor in Rolla, Missouri near her husband’s family.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband, Robert in 2003; as well as her parents and all of her sisters and their husbands.

She is survived by her brother-in-law, Charles McCarty and his wife, Dolores; many nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great nephews as well as great-great nieces/nephews and cousins.

Her nieces and nephews have many fond memories of Aunt Dot: fishing on Current River, teaching them how to sew and knit, watching birds outside her windows, as well as tasting all the dishes she would bring to Thanksgiving Dinner.

Dot will be missed by her family as well as the many caregivers who helped her in her last few years of life. For these wonderful people, her family is grateful.
