She was born April 6, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, the daughter of the late Eugene Ray Fitzgerald and the late Nettie Bell Williams Fitzgerald. Mrs. Dot was an associate for King Williams Realty for almost ten years, followed by a position as a lab reporter with Georgia Power Fuel Lab for 12 years, until her retirement. Known affectionately as "Mama Dot", she loved her faith, family and her friends. You could always find her immersed in reading her daily newspaper. "Mama Dot" loved "taking notes" throughout her long life. She recorded every occasion: gifts, family milestones, trip pictures and memories. She faithfully captured everything through her "notes". In her early years of raising her family, she enjoyed spending time on the lake, playing a good card game, and cherishing any type of family activity. She was a member of Wesley Chapel UMC in Marietta, and she served on various church committees throughout the years. Mrs. Dot and her first and second husbands were avid travelers, loving to travel in the United States and internationally.
