Kay Dobbins

After a long, lonely road of life, Drema Kay Dobbins exchanged worlds in a few short minutes.
Drema was seventy years old. Her home for the last twenty-six years was Summers County Nursing and Rehab Center.
Drema Kay was born June 26, 1940, the only child of Fred and Laura Frazier Dobbins. Her parents went to heaven ahead of Drema. Fred on April 28, 1991 and Laura on May 4, 1999.
Her kin left behind: are two aunts; Nellie Jo Mason of Hinton and Jenny Lee Ellison of Nimitz and several cousins. Her family of many years were the people who cared for her at the nursing home. Their kindness to Drema will be remembered by God who keeps good records.
Drema was not a member of anything except Central Baptist Church where she attended, even when she could no longer hear what was being said. Drema gradually became blind and deaf, specialists concluded it was nerve damage from birth.
Drema will be faintly remembered by some, as the girl with the long silver hair that walked across the Hinton Bridge every evening to meet her mother when she arrived from work at 3:00 p.m. Laura worked at the old Hinton Hospital until it closed.
Drema Kay was one of the special people in this world. Why she was selected to lay aside a bright happy life for one of sadness is known only by God.
She now sees the light of a real home and hears the music that she only heard in her head. Now she is with Mom, Dad and her kinfolks who will welcome her to that glorious land.
A promotional celebration will be held 3:00 p.m. Monday, November 29, 2010 at the Ronald Meadows Funeral Parlors Chapel with Pastor Robert Moore officiating. Burial will follow in the Restwood Memorial Gardens near Hinton. Friends may call from 2:00 p.m. until service time on Monday.
Mark, Evan and Matthew Ellison, Dr. Stanley T. Day, Glenn Vallandingham and Eddie Lilly will serve as pallbearers.
