Friends and family who knew Kimberly Diane Teague Dotson said her smile filled a room and her caring actions impacted people and animals. But an alleged drunken driver ran his truck into her and cut her life short.
“She had a way of being involved with people,” said the Rev. Bill Mason, senior pastor at Morris Hill Baptist Church where Dotson was a member.
Mason and the Rev. Jim Whittaker will officiate Dotson’s funeral at 4 p.m. today at Morris Hill Baptist Church.
The family will receive friends from 2 p.m. until service time today.
Georgia State Patrol charged 20-year-old Tyler Alexander Lemley, of Signal Mountain with DUI, after he struck and killed Dotson as she went for an after dinner walk with her sister on Sam Lewis Road about 9:35 p.m. on Thursday.
