Dorothy "Dottie" Perkins, 70, of Louisa, Virginia entered into eternal rest on Monday, September 4th, 2023. She was the loving daughter of the late John and Dorothy Hall Jr. Born in Fredericksburg, Virginia, Dottie loved growing up surrounded by loving family and friends. She was known for her positivity, kindness, and loving spirit. She was kind to everyone she came in contact with and was known for her infectious and spunky energy. She adored her loving children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and countless nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Dottie also enjoyed bargain shopping and yard sales as well as trips out to the country on the weekends to see her sister and father. Dottie exuded excitement in everything she did and made everyone feel special in their own way. She loved her prissy pomeranian Gracie Mae, and treasured her as her own child. Dottie is survived by her beloved sons Eddie Yates and Chuck Yates (Vanessa); loving daughters Julie Perkins and Tammy Perkins; brothers Bobbie Hall and David Hall; sister Joanne Lloyd; grandsons Bryan Yates, Tyler Yates, Cody Yates; and Tanner Yates; granddaughter Ashley Yates and nine beautiful great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank all who came together to support the family through donations, phone calls, and prayers and are eternally grateful for all of the love and support.
