Dorothy H. Boyte - 90

Dorothy Helen Boyte of Ashland City. Dot (Granny), age 90, left her earthly home to go dance with the Lord on November 8, 2014 after a short illness. Granny was born on March 21, 1924, grew up in Cab Hollow (North Nashville) and retired from Harvey's Department Store in 1988. She is survived by her "pride and joy", her grandkids Benjamin, Eli and Abigail, as well as her son and daughter-in-law, Chuck and Barbara Boyte of Hendersonville. Also survived by nephews and nieces Bill Morris, Charlie and Dianne Morris, Lewis and Billie Boyte, Linda Boyte, Susan and George Parker, Jack and Jo Boyte, Tommy Morris, Greg and Paula Morris, Bobby Morris, Steve Morris, Alaina Morris, Maddy Cate Morris, Emma Morris, and Matthew Morris, et al. Dot is preceded in death by her long time "partner" Tony (Rabbit) Boyd, brothers Charlie Boyte, Elmer (Brother) Boyte and John R. Boyte, sisters Frances Morris and Dixie B. Jones. Granny will be sorely missed by many dear friends including Doris Burgess, Dot Knight, Nellie Boyd, Bud and Edith, Bryant and Dean, Patricia and R.B., Carolyn and all her fellow dancing buddies at the Ashland City Senior Citizen Center and surrounding "dance halls". The only activity that Granny loved more than dancing was cooking for the people she loved. Thanksgiving Dinners will never be the same without her special touch. The family would like to send a very special thank you to Doug and Frances Boyd for all their support and friendship with Dot over many years. We will never be able to repay your generosity. Visitation for Dorothy Boyte will be Sunday and Monday November 9th and 10th from 2-6pm, and on Tuesday from 10am till time of service at 11:00am. Burial will follow at 1:00pm at the Springhill Cemetery in Madison. Honorary pallbearers will be all her dancing partners. Active pallbearers will be Robert Downing, Patrick Davis, Steve Morris, Daniel Davis and David Roettger. Arrangements by the Boyd Funeral Home. www.boydfh.com 615-792-4677.
