McDonald Funeral Home Picayune, MS 

Dorothy Beach Stockstill, age 86, passed away on July 3, 2009 after a long 
illness. She was born to the late Edna Massey and Vester Beach on April 2, 
1923 in Poplarville, MS. She married the late Norman Stockstill in 1946 and 
they lived together in Picayune, MS until his death in 1997. She relocated to 
Monroe, LA in 2004 to be near family. "Miss Dot" was a dance teacher until she 
retired and was passionate about sharing her love of ballet with her students 
over the years. She taught dance in Bogalusa, Poplarville and New Orleans as 
well as from the studio at her home in Picayune. She was known for making all 
the costumes for the recitals by hand with the assistance of her mother. She 
was a long-time member of First Baptist Church Picayune and was active with 
the Keenagers, a senior adult group. She also sang in the choir with the 
Keenagers and was a former Sunday School Teacher. Dorothy was a current member 
of Parkview Baptist Church, Monroe. Dorothy is survived by her two sons: Glenn 
Norman Stockstill of Redmond, Washington and James Dean Stockstill, MD and his 
wife Debbie of Monroe, LA; her two grandchildren, Timothy Stockstill of 
Redmond, WA and Abbey Stockstill of Philadelphia, PA; and her brother Joe 
Beach and his wife Margaret of Poplarville, MS. She is also survived by many 
nieces and nephews in the Poplarville and Picayune area. The family wishes to 
thank Dr. Kerry Anders and her caregivers Sue Lomax, Doris Jones, Nyola Gray, 
Sherree Shaline and Sheila Mims along with Louisiana Hospice for making the 
last few months of her life here on earth so comforting. In lieu of flowers, 
the family is requesting that donations be made to First Baptist Church 
Picayune or Parkview Baptist Church Monroe. Visitation will be held from 6:00 
PM until 9:00 PM at McDonald Funeral Home in Picayune on Sunday, July 5.
