Our loving wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, Dorothy Mae Ledford, of Newport, passed away on February 22, 2010, at home with her family by her side.
Dorothy struggled with Parkinson's disease.
The most important things in Dorothy's life were her family and husband, who spent every day caring for Dorothy through her illness with help from health care workers from Amedisys Hospice.
Dorothy touched the lives of many by her kindness and giving heart. She loved to play with her great-grandchildren. Dorothy will be missed by her family.
She is now with her mother Edna Mae Long, father Neil Long, brothers Ronnie and John Long, and sister Rena Jinks in Heaven.
