MACON - Dorothy "Dotty" Tinsley Youmans, 93, of Macon, died Saturday, April 14,
2007, at Heartland Hospice. Graveside services will be held at 2 p.m. Monday at
Oakridge Cemetery. Dr. W. Ches Smith III will officiate. A memorial service will

Dotty Youmans, a longtime Tifton resident, was born on Feb. 10, 1914 in
Nashville, Tenn. She was the daughter of William Cummins Tinsley and Gladys
Young Tinsley, both deceased. She was also preceded in death by a granddaughter,
Wendy Youmans. She had resided in Tifton since 1935 and moved to Macon in 2005.
She was a beloved and cherished friend to all who know her. She dedicated her
time, energy and love to all those who came under her Christian influence
through her more than 60 years as teacher, then director of the Children's
Division in Sunday School at First Baptist Church.  She served as G.A. Director
as well and in the early years, often held the meetings in her home. Many of her
former students still remember her positive impact upon 
their young lives with gratitude.  She served on every possible church committee
because her judgment was so highly regarded. Through all the years she
participated in mission trips, international group event and chaired the
?Mission Action? committee, whose sole purpose was to answer calls for food,
lights, and heat from those in need, and she answered night or day.

The lives she touched and molded are living testimonies to a tiny lady with an 
enormous heart. She was a housewife and mother.

Survivors include a son and daughter-in-law, Dr. William T. and Cathy Youmans of
Knoxville, Tenn.; a daughter, Barbara Youmans Probst of Macon; a sister, Wilda
Tinsley Moennig of Nashville, Tenn.; eight grandchildren, Suzanne Youmans
Labrit, Eric Miller, Courtenay Miller, Stephana Miller Lynch, Frank Youmans,
Alison Youmans and Cathryn Tinsley Youmans; and eight great-grandchildren.
