Dorothy Nell “Dottie” Barber, age 92, passed away Monday, May 25, 2015, at the Margaret Z. Dozier Hospice House in Tallahassee.
Dottie was a dedicated and loving caregiver to her husband of 29 years, Clyde J. Barber, who was severely injured in an automobile accident just prior to their marriage in 1964.

After her husband's death, she took a part time job as a file clerk at HRS Personnel Office and was later a receptionist at Work Force Plus where she worked until she retired.
Dottie was born February 26, 1923 in Columbus, MS to John Q. and Gladys M. Jones. She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, two brothers and four sisters.
The family will receive friends Monday, June 1, from 11:00a to 12:00p at Abbey Funeral Home. Services will follow immediately after with burial at Tallahassee Memory Gardens.
