Dorothy was born February 24, 1918 to the late Clenon C. and Daisy H. Barnes of Lucama.

She is survived by her daughters, Judy Harris (son-in-law, Jerry) of Swan Quarter and Gail Viverette (partner, Raymond Starling) of Wilson and son, Terry Bass (daughter-in-law, Sandra) of Fuquay-Varina and brother, Clifton Barnes (wife, Ramona) of Rocky Mount. She leaves many loving memories for her grandchildren Dawn Snyder of Suwanee, GA, Sabra Hassler of Fort Smith, AR, Eric Nicotra of Sweden, Joshua Viverette of Raleigh, Kayla, Jenna & Aaron Bass of Fuquay-Varina and great-grandchildren Conor, Alex and Megan Snyder of Suwanee, GA and Raymond's daughters, Ericca Starling and Heather Raper; brother, Clifton Barnes (Ramona) of Rocky Mount. Her many nieces, nephews, cousins and "adopted children" were always close to her heart and kept her occupied with their memories.
The family wishes to thank the staff of Harnett Woods for the loving care they gave Mother this past year. God truly had angels at work at Harnett Woods.
