Mrs. Mildred Dorsey

And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”

Mrs. Mildred Dorsey was born on March 7, 1936 to Herbert and Inez Thomas in Springfield, South Carolina. She answered the master’s call on Friday, May 14, 2021.

Mildred attended the Springfield public schools and was a graduate of Norfield High School. She also received an Associate Degree from Denmark Technical College.

Her services were extended with over twenty years of additional services to Aiken Head Start, Aiken, South Carolina.

God in his infinite wisdom joined Mildred Dorsey and Velton Dorsey in holy matrimony. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents; one sister, Miss Faye Vera Thomas; two brothers, Mr. Herbert Thomas and Mr. Ervin Thomas.
