MOCKSVILLE—Mrs. Dorothy Collette Leagans Marx, 97, of N. Main St., passed away Tuesday, April 6, 2021, at Pruitt Health in Elkin. She was born on February 26, 1924, in Davie County, to the late Granville Edward and Mary Camilla Collette Leagans. Mrs. Marx graduated from Mocksville High School in 1941 and graduated from U.N.C.G. Womens’ College with a bachelor’s degree with a teaching certificate in home economics. She was a member of First Baptist Church in Mocksville and loved her church and church family dearly. Mrs. Marx enjoyed reading, sewing, and loved making a home for her family. She loved gardening and maintained gardens large enough to feed her family from. Dorothy had a passion for music, often playing the piano and singing with her beautiful voice. She will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and friend to many. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Harry Marx; two sons, William Marx and Richard Harry Marx, Jr.; and 11 brothers and sisters. Survivors include her children, Joseph Marx; Maryanne Leagans, James Marx, Deborah Richmond (James), Dorothy Bevins (Kevin), Michael Marx, Lisa Collis, Thomas Marx, and Robert Marx; numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. A private graveside service will be conducted in Eatons Baptist Church Cemetery, with a public memorial service to follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be considered for First Baptist Church, 412 N. Main St., Mocksville, NC 27028. Online condolences may be made at www.eatonfuneralservice.com.
