Mrs. Dorothy Bearden's Obituary
Dorothy Jean “Dot” Bearden, age 82, of Hendersonville passed away on December 4, 2014. Mrs. Bearden was born on July 15, 1932 to the late Karl and Margaret Davidson. Dot was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
Dot loved animals – it was a trait that she passed down to her children. She loved dogs so much that she once drove hundreds of miles to rescue an abandoned pup. She also enjoyed antiquing and tending to her yard and her flowers.

She is survived by her children, Sharon (John) Seifert, Robert (Darlene) Bearden, Jr., Debbie (James) Choate; sister, Gayle (Danny) Trent; grandchildren, Chris (Cynthia) Seifert, Carrie (Jason) Crownover, Mindy (Matt) Porter, Kim Choate, Brandy Cotner, Ashley Bearden, Dawn (Scott) Warner, Brett (Kathryn) Truka, Marc Truka, Andy (J.J) Sisco; twelve great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved dearly.
