Mrs. Dora Bates Trexler

Mrs. Dora Bates

Trexler, 88, formerly of

Wadesboro, passed peace-

fully from this life to the

next on Monday, April 10,

2017, while a resident at

Brookdale Weddington Park.

Funeral services were

held on Saturday, April

15, 2017, at Leavitt Fu-

neral Home in Wades-

boro. Interment followed

in Anson Memorial Park.

Born in Anson County

on March 12, 1929, Dora

was the eighth of nine chil-

dren blessed to Thomas

Dixon and Elizabeth Ewers

Bates. The entire family

had a great love and talent

for music, and by the time

Dora was seven years old

she was singing in church.

At the age of fourteen she

was playing regularly for

services at her family's

beloved North Wadesboro

Baptist Church. Her love

of music, along with a

knack for creative writing,

were gifts Dora used

throughout her life to en-

tertain others and share

her strong faith.

Dora attended Wades-

boro High School and

would go on to marry Wal-

lace R. Trexler, also of

Anson County. Dora en-

joyed a long career as a

secretary, bookkeeper and

even executive secretary

for several private busi-

nesses over the years. She

was a wonderful home-

maker, seamstress and

cook and earned renowned

for her potato salad, fudge,

pickles and fig preserves.

Her talent for sewing was

evident in the many beauti-

ful clothes she made for

her children and for her

children's baby dolls!

Survivors include three

children, Jane T. Frye

(Jeff), Lynn Coppersmith

and Ray Trexler, Jr.; four

grandchildren, Jennifer

(Carroll) Gayton, Jamie

(Marcin) Grucela, Josh

Frye, and Emily Copper-

smith; and six grandchil-

dren, John Morgan

Gayton, Grant Gayton,

Gabriel Grucela, Charlotte

Grucela, Aaron Grucela

and Jonah Baum.

In addition to her par-

ents, Dora was preceded in

death by her husband and

all eight of her brothers and

sisters whom she dearly

looked forward to seeing

again in heaven one day.

The family suggests

memorials be made to

Hospice and Palliative

Care Charlotte Region,

1420 E. Seventh St.,

Charlotte, NC 28204.
