Cecile Bottoms Dowell, 84, of Highland Springs, went to be with the Lord peacefully in her home on January 1, 2021. She was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years Winston C. Dowell Sr.; mother and father Harold Sr. and Mae Bottoms; sisters, Elsie Tate, Mildred Clark, and Brenda Neister. She is survived by her sister, Nan Brooks and brother Harold Bottoms, Jr.; her adoring children Candy Dowell, Winston Dowell, Jr. (Vicky), and Scott Dowell (Christina); devoted grandchildren, Dylan Dowell, Tyler Dowell and Cole Hines; great-granddaughter, Luna; step-grandchildren, Bear King, Shannon Hyne and Carrie Jones; step-great grandchildren, Grayson King, Bradley and Cora Hyne and Peyton Jones.
She was a loving and devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. She spent most of her adult life caring for her family. She loved spending time with family, caring for her cat Mr. Puss, and caring for her many indoor and outdoor plants.
The family has decided to schedule a Celebration of Cecile's life at a later date due to concerns for safety related to COVID-19.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that tribute donations be made either to the American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org, or the Alzheimer's Association, www.alz.org.
Special thanks to the caretakers, Tyeshia Meynard (Ty) and Loverine Small Willis (Lovey), who devoted much of the past 2 years caring for our Mother so that she could remain at home.
