Pauline Mitchem
Dodson
Sep 30, 1943 — Apr 15, 2023
Courtland
Courtland - Pauline Faye (Polly) Dodson, 79 went home with the Lord Saturday April 15, 2023 with her husband by her side. Born in Roderfield, WV she was the daughter of the late Gilbert and Welda Mitchem. She was predeceased by her sister Evelyn M. Ent.
Polly was a retired Correctional Officer with the Virginia Department of Corrections with 27 years of service. Polly devoted her life as a Christian and loved the Lord just as much as she loved her big family. She touched so many lives in her years, but dearly loved her husband Marvin of almost 65 years of marriage. Her kids, grandkids and great-grand kids were the apple of her eye. She thought dearly of her daughter-in-LOVE, Kelly who she called her "angel" and took amazing care of her throughout her medical journey.
Left to cherish her beautiful memory is her husband Marvin L. Dodson, her two sons Jeffrey L Dodson (Kelly) and Jackson L (Jack) Dodson (Sheri), her grandchildren Jackson L (Lee) Dodson II (Kendra), Kimberly N Gaskins (Clayton), Tyler R Dodson (Britney), Hannah E Dodson and Olivia J Dodson, as well as Kelly's three children Taylor R Carr, Kennedi K Carr and Tanner R Carr, her great grandchildren, Jaxon and Charlie Luck Dodson, Sawyer R Dodson and Clayton, Caroline and Keegan Gaskins, as well as a host of cousins, nieces and nephews.
We would like to thank the Gentiva Hospice for their care and compassion over the last several months. Polly was a beautiful, caring and loving wife, mother and Meme. She will be dearly missed by all. We love you our beautiful Angel.
