On the evening of Saturday, May 18, 2019, Dorothy C. Copeland was called home to rest in the arms of the Lord. Dorothy was born on February 15, 1941 to Roy and Viola Cobb. She graduated from Crestwood High School in 1959. She furthered her education by getting a degree in Business in 1961. She worked as a paralegal for 15 years, and later became a joint business owner of Copeland Trucking Company from 1977 to 2017.
Dorothy was known for her angelic voice and her friendly and easy going nature. She had love for her family and it was especially displayed through her grandchildren; in which they affectionately called her Mimi. Dorothy was a faithful and dedicated member of New Hope Baptist Church, where she served as a Missionary and sang the songs of Zion in several choirs.
Dorothy is predeceased by her father, Roy Cobb, and her husband of 51 years, Linwood L. Copeland. Jr. Left to cherish her memory, her mother, Viola G. Cobb; a son, Linwood L. Copeland, III (Sharon), a daughter, Dorla Copeland Herring (Sidney); 5 grandchildren, Heather Herring, Taylor Copeland, Cassie Herring, Kaitlin Copeland, and Dallas Copeland and, one great grandchild, Chase McNeil.

May 24, 2019 at 6:07 pmI met your Mom several years ago when I was working at BB&T. Her and your Dad were the most gracious people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Every now and again I would run into her in a store. She always remembered who I was and gave me a big hug. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. May God give your family peace and know that she is with your Dad in heaven looking down on their family and friends. Sincerely,

May 25, 2019 at 3:01 pmI am truly sorry for your loss, what really comforted me in my time of loss is the scripture@ Revelation 21:3&4 . Which gives us the wonderful promise of God wiping out every tear from our eyes and death being no more. I hope this promise from Jehovah will truly bring your family much comfort at this time.
