Dorothy Dale (Carlton) (Taylor) Sellers, 99 years of age, of Nocatee, Florida, daughter of Nocatee Pioneers, Albert & Lucy Garner Carlton, Florida, passed peacefully into the waiting arms of Jesus on July 30, 2019.
Dorothy graduated from DeSoto County High School in 1938. She worked for Sorrells Packing House as a bookkeeper for close to thirty years, retiring at the age of 65.
Dorothy was blessed with two beautiful marriages during her lifetime. She was married to Gerald C. Taylor until his death in 1982. In 1988 she married J. B. Sellers, a descendant of Pine Level Pioneers, until his death in 1996.
A devoted member of Nocatee United Methodist Church all her life, Dorothy later joined Pine Level United Methodist Church where her first husband, Gerald C. Taylor, had served as pastor for twenty years. She liked to attend both worship services on Sunday mornings and did so for many years. Dorothy loved to read her Bible and knew many, many passages by heart.
Dorothy was also an avid painter. She first began painting in her mid-sixties, being introduced to the art by her good friend, Sue Bevis. Dorothy was a member of the Peace River Art Guild, the Desoto County Historical Society and the Twentieth Century Literary Club.
Dorothy will be greatly missed by her friends and family and is survived by many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and five brothers, Earl, DeVaughn, Smiley, Claude and Melvin Carlton and her sister, Evelyn Vickers.
Services will be held at the Pine Level United Methodist Church, on Thursday, the 15th day of August, 2019. Viewing will be at 9:00 a.m. and the service will start at 10:00 a.m., 9596 NW Pine Level Street, Arcadia, FL 34266, with Rev. Brian Russell, Pastor of Pine Level United Methodist Church, and Rev. Roy Arms, Pastor of Venus United Methodist Church in Lake Placid, Florida, officiating. Following the service, Dorothy will be buried next to her husband, Gerald, at Joshua Creek Cemetery in Arcadia.
