Dorothy Irene Vance Little, age 85, of North Tazewell, VA died Saturday January 23, 2016, at the family home in Baptist Valley of congestive heart failure. Born August 30, 1930 in Tazewell, VA, she was a daughter of Jesse Abner and Daisy Irene Hash Vance. She was one of four children. At various points, she worked as a waitress and as a hotel housekeeper. Mrs. Little was a homemaker in Tazewell County, Maryland, Indiana, and Belleville, MI. She was fond of the animals on her farm and knew each cow by name, wonderment to those in the family, whose names were interchangeable. Her family pride ran deep, past and present, and photos of them filled her home's walls and flat spaces. She most recently attended the Tazewell First Assembly of God Church, but also attended other Tazewell area churches over the years. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Arthur James Little, and siblings, Jesse Carl Vance, Mary Ellen Vance Smith, and Betty Jane Vance Williams.
She is survived by four children, Jesse Andrew "Butch" Little of Baptist Valley, VA, Dora Irene Little Williams and Thomas of Adria, VA, Patricia Ann "Pat" Little Edwards and Kedric Conn, Sr. of Castlewood, VA, and Susan Marie Little Winningham and Leon of Baptist Valley, VA; seven grandchildren, Melissa Little South, of Grain Valley, MO, Chrissie Anderson Peters and Russell of Bristol, TN, Melenia Edwards Stryker and John of Leesburg, VA, Jesse Andrew Little, Jr. and Hayley of Summit, MO, Adam Little of DeSoto, KS, Sarah Williams of North Tazewell, VA and Kedric Edwards, Jr. and Melissa of Haymarket, VA; nine great-grandchildren; two step-great-grandchildren; several nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members; and special caregiver, Kristi Yates.
