Dorothy leaves to cherish her beautiful memories with her loving children: Darryl Madden (Kim Madden) of Marina Bay, California; Kevin Madden (Tenisa Madden) and Malcolm Madden of Longview, Texas. 

She is also survived by her brothers, Larry Williams (Ruby Williams) of Dallas, Texas, and Andrew Stevens Jr. of Longview, Texas; her sisters, Madie Swift of Longview, Texas; Lizzie Johnson (Danny Johnson) of Tulsa, Oklahoma; Lula Bowie of Houston, Texas; Laura Williams and Patricia Johnson of Longview, Texas; her aunt, Dorothy Whitman of Longview, Texas; her best friend, Betty Harris of Longview, Texas; and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends. 

Dorothy leaves behind a legacy of love and strength. She stood for what was right, cared deeply for others, and showed us what it means to move forward with courage. Her spirit lives on in all who knew and loved her. 

While our hearts are heavy with grief, we are thankful for every moment we were given with her — for the wisdom she shared, the laughter she brought, and the unconditional love she poured into our lives. Though she is no longer with us in body, her love will continue to guide us, comfort us, and live on through each of us. 

Until we meet again, we will carry her in our hearts, honor her memory, and cherish the beautiful legacy she leaves behind.
