Dorothy C. "Dottie" (Payne) Walton

Dorothy “Dottie” Walton

Age 95, received her wings on Saturday, January 16, 2021. She was a loving mother who provided unconditional love for her children.

She worked as a Merchant Associate for J. C. Penny for 23 years. She had an eye for fashion. Dottie loved being with family & friends – just talking, laughing, playing cards, dirty board and she loved to travel. Our hearts are broken, but her heartbeat will be carried on in her daughter, grandchildren & great grandchildren. Dottie was born in Danville, VA on May 8, 1925 to the late John S. & Lucy (Boaze) Payne.

She moved to Dayton in 1953. She always loved going to Danville to visit family & friends. She married Eugene Walton on July 17, 1943. They enjoyed each other for 60 years. In addition to her husband, Dottie was also preceded in death by one son, Ronnie; and by her siblings, Katherine, John T., Morris, Nancy & Jerry.

Dottie leaves behind one daughter, Joy (Bob) Harshbarger; one granddaughter, Tammy (Jack) Jennings; three great granddaughters, Victoria, Kaitlyn & Alexa; and her daughter-in-law, Sally Walton.

The family will be receiving friends from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m., Thursday, January 21, at Morton & Whetstone Funeral Home, 139 S. Dixie Drive, Vandalia, Ohio 45377. Funeral services will follow at 1:00 p.m. with interment at Polk Grove Cemetery in Butler Twp.
