Dorothy Luverne

Griffin

Dorothy Luverne Griffin was born on December 18, 1956.  She confessed Christ at an early age and joined the Friendship Baptist church where she served faithfully until the end.  God saw fit to give Angel wings to this Awesome & Amazing woman of God on Friday, August 26, 2019.

Dorothy was preceded in death by loving parents, Reverend Willie & Sister Odessa Griffin; four brothers: Willie Griffin Jr. (Sonny), Peter Griffin, Gardner Griffin, John Griffin; and one sister, Rosie Adams (Sister).

Dorothy spent some of her time here and in Detroit, MI teaching Math and Science. She was also an outstanding musician with the voice of an angel.  She will always be remembered for the many choirs she played for, the many plays she wrote and directed and for the many ways she mentored people of all ages.  She richly encouraged and touched the lives of so many  individuals. Dorothy was the perfect epitome of a loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She was one to always make you laugh.

Dorothy leaves to cherish her wonderful memories, one Handsome Prince son, Christopher (Jaquita) Maxwell; one Beautiful Princess granddaughter, Kabria Maxwell all of Pensacola, AL; two brothers: Calvin (Dorothy) Griffin of Wagerville, AL and Marion (Hazel) Griffin of Foley, AL; three sisters: Irma (Freddie) Bettis Sr. of Malcolm, AL, Alice (Henry) Gaines, Jr. of Calvert, AL and Debra Akhimie of Montgomery, AL; sister-in-law, Beverly Griffin; and god-sister, Willie B. Edwards. She will also be remembered by a host of special nieces, nephews, cousins, other family members and friends… too numerous to name. Truly, she will be missed by everyone!
