Dorothy (?Dot Dot?) Stack Lister Owens, 90, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Dec. 7 in Spartanburg.
She was born in Inman to Carl W. and Julia C. Stack on Nov. 15, 1930.
?Dot Dot? was the model Southern lady full of grace, faith, hospitality and love. She was a devoted daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and wife, who blessed her family with her sweet and nurturing spirit and inspired with her strength and perseverance.
She was a beautiful person inside and out. A Greer High homecoming queen with many talents. She attended Furman University and majored in Music. She had an interesting and diverse career in healthcare, insurance and interior decor.
Dot served in the medical practice of Dr. Douglas Owens for 30 years, and while not clinically trained, she absolutely cared for and ministered to the patients of the practice as only she could do. She took interest in them as individuals and encouraged them as they healed.
She was a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Greer, serving through her teaching in the Children?s ministry, singing in the adult choir and playing piano for the Baraca Sunday School Class and Youth Choir.
Her faith was her guide in both joyful and challenging times. Dot was involved in her community and was a founding member of the Primrose Garden Club of Greer.
She lived a long, full life and was a blessing to so many. She will surely be missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
