Your mother was an angel walking this earth. My mother and her sister were at Guardian Care for over 23 years. Dot
always visited them, brought them little goodies and was a complete joy to
them. No one will ever know how very much I appreciated everything she did for both of hem. One of the most generous human beings I ever knew. God Bless all of you. Betty Peele

Whit and Chris,

Your mom was a wonderful, strong influence in my life as a student at Ahoskie High School,class of '61. Before she was my English teacher, she was our faculty advisor for the POW WOW.
She taught us how to create and to produce an award winning school newspaper. She encouraged us to excellence in English. She expanded our horizons by taking us to national conferences in New York City.I was so excited to see her several years ago and to be able tell her what an incredible influence she had been in my life!

I know you will miss her greatly, but just know that you and your families will always have your wonderful memories of her and all that she has been to you over the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

I would like to express my condolences to the Powell family. Dorothy Powell taught me English three out of my four years at AHS, and she impacted my life tremendously, as she did the lives of all of her students. She will live forever in the hearts of the students who were fortunate enough to have her.

I just want to offer my sympathies to Whit and Chris. Mrs. Powell was a wonderful teacher, with a real heart for her students. When she retired, I know she was missed at the school. But the Ahoskie community will miss her now for all of the services and ministries that she provided for many people. It was a honor to have her as my teacher!

so sad to hear of Mrs. Powell's passing. I was fortunate enough to have her as my Ahoskie High School English teacher. We had such great teachers back then. She was the best! She sought and brought the best out of her students. The most intelligent woman I have ever known. She was so respected by everyone around her. Great lady!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we feel extremely fortunate to have recently met Dorothy. It was easy to understand why she was so treasured by all who knew her. To Chris & 'Missy' we know that you will remember all of the great times with 'Mama Dot' as you struggle through this difficult period. Our thoughts are with you, Emma, Jenny and everyone. With much Love. Ilana & Dean

I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Powell's passing. She was such a special lady and one that I have so many fond memories of both in the classroom and in my personal life. I am thinking of you at this sad time. Take care, Jetta

Whit and Chris--I was so sorry to hear of the passisng of your wonderful mother. Carolyn and I were fortunate to get to know her in 1968 when we moved to Ahoskie. She as always been the "adademic leader" of the R-C area! Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Chris and family...so sorry to hear about your mom's passing...I know how it is when mom is gone...prayers and thoughts to all...dinger

Mrs. Powell was my favorite teacher. She loved her subject and taught it well. She was also a very kind person who really cared about her students. I will always love good literature and the English language, thanks, in no small part, to her.

I was blessed to have known Mrs.Dot while I lived in Ahoskie. She was my next door neighbor. We would often meet in the side yard and chit chat. Being one of our first real neighbors in which you do more than just wave too, she has left an imprint on my life. Have thought of her often. Your family is in my prayers.

Whit & Chris, Mother does not have your address nor does she have a computer, so she asked me to send this to you. "The service was lovely and Dot would have been proud.Dot was such a special friend to me and I loved her so much. She will be missed by so many in Ahoskie. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. It was good to see you today. Take Care. Love, Grace Sumner

Whit & Chris, Ronny and I were so saddened to hear about your Mother. She was the most sweetest person we have ever known and she will be missed by many. I was able to see your Mother when she and some ladies from Ahoskie come to Moms house for lunch in January. My Mom(Grace Sumner) loved your Mother so much. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sincerely, Elaine & Ronny Ray

Whit, Chris and Families,

Your Mother was a very special woman,teacher,parent and friend. She shared her love and knowledge so freely. I can still remember her standing beneath one of the very tall windows at Ahoskie High School telling our tenth grade class that learning to use proper English was crucial if we ever wanted to accomplish great things. Her commitment was to teach us, not by memorizing a lot of rules from our text but to listen to correct English and to speak correct English. What an unbelievable teacher!!! I can‚??t quote the rules but I can easily use what she taught us.

Your Mother influenced so many people and left such a legacy among the students she taught. She left good stock to carry on her tradition in your family. She is truly ONE of a kind.

I wish all the best for you all as you celebrate her life.

Warm Regards
Ralph Mosley

Whit and Chris, So sorry for your loss. Aunt Dot was a wonderful lady. I passed senior English with her help! We are keeping you all in our prayers.

Take care,

June and Family

While I did not know Ms. Powell personally one of my dearest friends was her son Chris...He has been a friend for more than 30 years and through him and numerous other people in Eastern N.C. I came to know all about his dear mother...may she rest in peace and I know she will be missed but never forgotten....

To Chris and Whit: Your mother was a wonderful teacher and a very dear friend whom I will miss very, very much. She first taught me over 40 years ago, and I treasured her friendship throughout the years because of her remarkable intelligence, wit and good humor. I hope that all of the wonderful memories that you and your families have of your mother/ grandmother will sustain you through this difficult time.

Indeed sorry to learn of the passing of Dorothy. She taught school in Enfield, NC and I am one of her former students. She came to our class reunions
( class of 1950 )whenever she could, but she did not come to our last one in August 2010. She was a great teacher and a favorite among her students. I kept in touch with her over the years and I shall miss her. My deepst sympathy to you all.

I am so deeply sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I was fortunate enough to have her as my teacher, friend and neighbor on Church St.

Love to you and your family.

Mrs. Powell was my English teacher for four years at AHS, and memories of that dear lady have given me such pleasure throughout my life and work experience. She was an inspiration to me and, because of her, I loved high school even more than I ever imagined. Her helpful advice, great sense of humor, and knowledge of the English language and literature were instrumental during my college years. My condolences to her family and dear friends...

Indeed we all are saddened by Mrs. Powell's passing, but the touch of her spirit remains with each of us. She was the consummate teacher literally until the end.

On a personal note, her English classes on the detailed structure of language
stood me in good stead as I pursued a career as a professional linguist. When I visited Ahoskie I never missed the opportunity to share this with her. There is no greater reward for a teacher.

Dot Powell's legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of the thousands of
students whose lives she touched in so many ways.

We have truly lost a special mother, teacher, citizen and Christian. Rest in peace dear lady.

Mrs. Powell was a great lady and a wonderful teacher. There are so many times that I still remember the things that she said and did. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with your families. I also lost my Dad on Easter Sunday 2011. Sincerely, Rosa

Whit and Chris, So sorry for your loss. Your mother was one of the best women I had the pleasure to know. She will be missed by all.
We will keep you all in our prayers.

Whit and Chris,

I was so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. She was such a wonderful teacher and person. Even though you will miss her, she will live in your hearts. I have fond memories of her both from the classroom and as a friend of my family. Know that many people have you in their thoughts and prayers.

Whit & Chris,

So sorry to hear about your Mom. She was such a sweet, Christian lady and the best English teacher anyone could have ever had. I was so blessed that our paths crossed: first being her English student then becoming her co-worker later in life. She was a good friend and I always enjoyed being around her. She might have been a lady of small statute but when she spoke - everyone listened.

She loved you boys so much and was so proud of both of you. Cherish all the wonderful memories of her and know that you have my deepest sympathy. You had a very SPECIAL mother and she will be missed by all of those who were fortunate enough to have come in contact with her.
