Dorothy M. Coley

Dorothy M. Coley - lovingly known as "Dot", transitioned from this life peacefully on Friday, May 8, 2020. She was 71 and lived in Upper Marlboro, MD. Dorothy was born and raised in Goldsboro, NC. She graduated high school in 1966, as class valedictorian. She continued on to complete her undergraduate studies at North Carolina Central University, receiving her B.A. Degree in English. Dorothy began her journey in Washington, DC in 1970. She graciously served as a federal employee at the Library of Congress, during which she received her M.A. Degree from Central Michigan University. She retired as a program specialist in 2008 after dedicating 38 years of service. True to her helpful nature and adding some variety to her retirement, she worked at Costco Wholesale as a sales advisor from 2009-2017. She was an avid reader, lover of arts and theater, travel and family. Left to cherish Dot's fond memories are her only daughter, Amber Crutchfield and her loving companion, Glenn Crutchfield. She also leaves behind her brothers Morris Lee Coley, David Coley, Gerald Coley and sister Wanda Harris. Plus a host of other relatives and friends.  To send flowers or a memorial gift to the family of Dorothy M. Coley please visit our Sympathy Store.
