Dorothy Mae Mazyck, the first of four children of the late George Mazyck and Edna Prioleau Mazyck, was born on January 4, 1942 in Pineville, South Carolina. Dottie, as she was affectionately called, was educated at J. K. Gourdin Elementary School and graduated from Russellville High School, Russellville, SC in 1961. She graduated from LaSalle University, Chicago, Illinois in 1962 with an Associate Degree in Modeling and Cosmetology. Dottie served as a School Safety Agent for the New York City Police Department before retiring and returning to South Carolina to live. At an early age, Dottie accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and spent many years traveling throughout the Synod in New York and South Carolina. Her love for her Savior caused her to become a faithful Christian, who willingly helped promote financially all programs held in the churches. She was a member in good standing at Redeemer Reformed Episcopal Church where she was an active member on the Junior Vestry and a Sunday School Teacher for Adult Class No. 3. All that could be done was done to prolong Dottie's life, but the Lord had need of her in glory, so on Wednesday, September 9, 2015, the death angel visited her home while she slept and bore the bright spirit of Dottie away to a land free of sickness, sorrow, pain, and death. It was God's will that no farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, she was gone before we knew it and only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose Dottie, no one will ever know. We thank God through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for having been allowed to know and love Dottie. Many friends and relatives are left to mourn her death and celebrate her life. She leaves one brother, Dr. Anthony (Verna) Mazak; one sister-in-law, Mrs. Betty Mazyck; many nieces, nephews, cousins, church members, classmates, neighbors, and friends. The family would like to make a special thanks to Mrs. Betty Mazyck, Mrs. Lucille Nesbitt, Mrs. Johnnetta Perkins, Mrs. Emma Paulin, Ms. Dorothy Jenkins, Mrs. Bernice and Cherry Houston, Mrs. Lavern Mims, Ms. Rena and Ruby Nelson, Mrs. Marva Norton, Ms. Louise Leslie Mobley, and Mrs. Marianne Rowland, RN for all they did for Dottie during her illness.
