Dot was married to the love of her life, Rev. Glenn Townsend, for an extraordinary 69 years. Together, they built a life rooted in service, ministry, and mutual devotion—touching countless lives in their community and beyond.
Dot had a servant's heart, caring for others with a quiet strength and a loving touch. Whether it was offering a comforting word, preparing meals, or sitting by a bedside, she was always there when someone needed her. Dot’s life was a living testament to selflessness.
A gifted seamstress, Dot had an eye for beauty and a heart for creativity. Her handmade dolls, stitched with precision and love, were treasured by children and adults alike. She poured herself into every stitch, often creating cherished keepsakes for family, friends, and those in need.
