Dorothy "Dot" Elizabeth Enlow, 88, of Blythewood, died Tuesday, October 27, 2015. Born in Strother, SC, on January 13, 1927, she was a daughter of the late Henry Thomas and Lizzie Eleazer Stoudemire. Of all the pleasures in her life, Dot's greatest pleasure was being Ma Dot to Scott, who called her the light of his life, Grum to Luke and Gram to Levi. She always claimed that she couldn't sing but loved to "Make a Joyful Noise". One of her favorite song lyrics was "I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal but I'll Be a Diamond One Day." Now, she is shining bright as a diamond.
