Dorothy (Dottie) Daughtridge Macklin, 72, of Red Oak, died suddenly Friday afternoon, August 14, 2020, the day before her birthday. Dottie was born August 15, 1947, in Rocky Mount and was a longtime resident of Red Oak, where she was a member of Red Oak Baptist Church. She was a graduate of Rocky Mount Senior High School and Carolina College of Commerce. She worked for Rocky Mount City Schools for more than 20 years and completed her career, working for Halifax County Schools where she retired in 2012. Dottie always had a smile for everyone she met, never met a stranger, and had a servant’s heart. In her retirement years, she served as volunteer coordinator for Meals on Wheels and as treasurer for her Sunday School Class. She is survived by her husband, Wayne; her daughters Angela Clendenin (Gary) and Christie Lamm; her step children Anna Nelms (Brian) and Joey Macklin; and her grandchildren Tiffany Rabil, Hannah Clendenin, Martha Clendenin, and Sam Clendenin; as well as her step grandchildren Chad and Sarah Nelms and Kayla and Tanner Macklin. She is also survived by her sister Susan Skinner (Berkley) and brother Mel Daughtridge (Linda) and nephews Carrington Skinner (Brett) and Ryan Daughtridge and nieces Katie Skinner and Kelly Daughtridge. Dottie was preceded in death by her parents J.M. (Bud) and Dorothy Daughtridge. A funeral service will be held Monday, August 17, 2020 at 11:00AM with Pastor Chris Fowler officiating at Red Oak Baptist Church Family Life Center. Burial will follow at Red Oak Baptist Cemetery. Out of an abundance of caution, there will be no visitation and the family requests that you wear masks, if possible, and refrain from shaking hands and hugging. Seating arrangements will accommodate physical distancing. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Red Oak Baptist Church Generator Fund, PO Box 260 Red Oak, NC 27868.
