Elisabeth Dodson
September 6, 1946 — November 22, 2022
Elisabeth B. Dodson, 76, of Prince George, passed away on November 22, 2022, at VCU Medical Center, after battling lupus, liver disease, and diabetes complications.
Elisabeth, known by friends and family cordially as "Betty," was born in 1946, to Edward and Waltraud Brennan, in Mannheim, Germany. Betty traveled for the first time to the U.S. at the age of 16. She graduated from Dinwiddie High School, and went on to study at Petersburg Hospital to become a medical laboratory technician.
She worked for several years at Central State Hospital in her early career, followed by approximately 24 years at Wilson Enterprises. She retired from work in 2007 to stay home with her grandson.
In 1967, Betty met William "Bill" Dodson through a family member. They married in July 1968. Betty and Bill went on to have one child, Stephanie. They shared 54 wonderful years of marriage and were still just as much in love as those young kids from 1967.
Betty enjoyed horseback riding and socializing with her many friends and acquaintances from Dale Sloat Stables. She was a member of Sycamore United Methodist in Prince George and always loved caring for the children in the nursery. She also adored her grandson, Kegan and enjoyed spending most of her free time with him. Betty and Kegan had a special bond as they shared the same birthday. She volunteered at North Elementary during Kegan's tenure there. Many people at the school affectionately referred to her as "Oma." She loved having her family together and appreciated social gatherings around the pool during the summer. She enjoyed traveling with her family, but her declining health limited her mobility as well as future potential plans for an Alaskan Cruise.
Betty was predeceased by her father, Edward, and mother, Waltraud. She is survived by her husband, Bill; daughter, Stephanie (Scott) Johnson; grandson, Kegan; and brother, Edward (Carol) Brennan II.
Services will be held at the Hopewell Chapel of J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home on December 4, 2022 from 2pm to 4pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to HotdogHill Sanctuary in Spring Grove, VA] https://www.facebook.com/donate/1083484368871049/10229860568884704/ or to the [Lupus Foundation of America.
