Dorothy L. (Searcy) Little

With sincere compassion, we respectfully announce the transition of Mrs. Dorothy L. Little. A native, and resident, of Montgomery, AL, Mrs. Little transitioned Saturday, April 29th, 2023. She was 82. A Homegoing Celebration Memorial will be held Saturday, May 6th, 2023 at 1PM from Resurrection Missionary Baptist Church. Pastor Willie Joe Whiting is the Officiant. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that green plants be sent in honor of their Matriarch.

Dorothy Little was born to Louis Scott and Burnie Searcy on October 7, 1940 in Montgomery (New Town Community) Alabama. She received her education from the Montgomery Public School System and attended Booker T. Washington High School.

Mrs. Little accepted Christ at an early age while attending St. Stephens Missionary Baptist Church. At one point in life she became a member of Bell St Church. Later, along her spiritual journey, she joined Resurrection Missionary Baptist Church. Ms. Little shared her faith, love, and compassion with everyone that she came across. She was also a mentor and served as the Matriarch of her family.

Mrs. Little had a love for God's outside creations. She took pleasure in planting and growing her flowers. Due to the love for her family and friends, she took pride in cooking and being able to share that gift with those she loved. Her industrious life included a lifelong career as a Medical Assistant.

Mrs. Little was preceded in death by her husband: Jacob Little; her parents: Louis Scott and Burnie Searcy; two children: Lee Little and Debra Little; three sisters: Mary Paradise, Selena Prevo, and Linda Badru; and a grandson: El'Rico Briggs.

Mrs. Little’s legacy will continue to live on through her seven children: Stanley Little, Doris Bell, Irvin (La'Tosha) Williams, Gloria Brown, Vickie (Nicklaus) Wadsworth, Michael (Pamela) Little and Gerald Little; sisters: Mary Rush and Louise (Pastor Clifford) Prevo; and one brother: Roger (Esperanza) Searcy. Also embracing her memories are her 19 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, 5 great-great -grandchildren, a niece who went above and beyond: Olu Badru; a nephew that went the extra mile to communicate with his aunt: James Carter, a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and special friends from Young Fort Village, Gibbs Village, and Ridgecrest.

Jackson Professional Funeral Services is grateful to Mrs. Little's family for entrusting the final care and arrangements of their loved one to our caring and dedicated professionals. We solicit your continued, sincere support, and prayers for her family as they navigate through this experience.

Thank You,

JPFS
