Obituary

Today, we celebrate a life well lived. Dorothy Rice Fouch was born October 15,

1949 to the late Olin Rice and Allene McCurdy Rice in Hartwell, GA.

She lived a happy, fruitful life and touched many lives for Christ along her

journey. Dorothy taught elementary school in Hartwell, GA for over 30 years. She

was a community activist, and she contributed to any cause that she thought would

help someone. She was a true Proverbs 31 woman.

Dorothy was married to the love of her life, Larry Fouch, for 47 years. To this

union, four children were born. She joined Hartwell First Baptist Church at a

young age and later joined her husband at Maple Spring Baptist Church. She

served faithfully as a musician, choir member, Children’s Church coordinator, deacon-

ess, senior mission member and teacher. She had a smile that lit up the room, the

voice of an angel, and a sweet spirit. She was better than blessed, and she praised

the Lord!

Preceding her in death are her sisters: Sarah Mayfield (Prentis), Charlotte

Harper; brothers-in-law: Nathaniel Fouch, Shannon Fouch, Torrey Lewis, and Willie

Sanders Carter; sisters-in-law: Claudette Oglesby and Bertha Fouch.

Left to carry on her legacy are her husband Larry; children: Earl Fouch

(Bernadette) of Dewy Rose, GA, Monica Oglesby (Bruce) of Ellenwood, GA,

Kenya Fouch of Anderson, SC and Maya Geth (Ed) of Hartwell, GA; five grand-

children: Cameron Fouch, BJ and Brady Oglesby, and Trez and Bryce Fouch;

sisters-in-law: Mattie Jones (Curtis) of Hartwell, GA, Barbara Lewis of Dewy

Rose, GA, Margaret Trunell (Roosevelt) of Chicago, IL, Alma Carter of Hunts-

ville, AL and Winnie Fouch of Country Club Hills, IL; brothers-in-law: Jerry Fouch of

Dewy Rose, GA, Cordy Fouch (Inell) of Dewy Rose, GA, and Woodrow Harper of

Hartwell, GA; a very special friend of 51 years: Gordia Prince; and she has a host of

nieces, nephews, cousins, and good friends.

Poem

She is Clothed in Strength and Dignity

You were the epitome of strength

Wisdom was your light

You proceeded without fear

Approached each day with righteous fight

How gentle was your spirit

Your presence demanded high respect and favor

Your love was shown beyond measure

Your children call you blessed

You reflect the characteristics of our creator and savior

Take your well-deserved rest in the Covenant

that was established by God

next to your loved ones in the sweet by and by
