Services were held July 28 at Rushing-Estes-Knowles Chapel in Uvalde with Ted McElroy and Tim Tarbot officiating. Graveside services were also held July 28 at Burnet City Cemetery with Dan Shipley officiating. Arrangements were under the direction of Rushing-Estes-Knowles Mortuary of Uvalde.
Born August 13, 1900, near Ardmore, Indian Territory (Oklahoma), she was the sixth of seven children born to James Pinkney and Leannah (McKinney) Dotson, of Collin County, Texas.

She helped to organize the Alexander family reunions in Burnet County and wrote a history of the Alexander's who came to Georgetown and Burnet from Fayette County, Arkansas, in 1840. As a descendant of San Jacinto soldier, George W. Smith, she was a charter member of the Caddel-Smith Chapter, Daughters of the Republic of Texas.
