In Loving Memory of Dorothy (Townsend) Deaton

In Loving Memory of Dorothy Deaton
✨ A Beloved Wife, Mother, and Fighter ✨

On June 7, 2025, our hearts were shattered as we said goodbye to Dorothy (Townsend) Deaton — a radiant soul taken far too soon after a courageous battle with cancer and a sudden autoimmune disease.

Dorothy was a light in every room. Her laughter was contagious, her love ran deep, and her strength was unmatched. Through the darkest days, she never stopped fighting—not for herself, but for the two little hearts who called her “Mommy” and the man she loved with her whole heart.

She leaves behind her devoted husband, Ben, and their two precious children: Wolfgang (4) and Monroe (3). Dorothy’s biggest wish was for her babies to grow up knowing how deeply they were loved—and to never feel alone in this world.

As Ben faces the unimaginable task of raising their children without her, we want to rally around this family with love, prayers, and support. This GoFundMe has been created to honor Dorothy’s memory by supporting the future of her children. 100% of the funds raised will go toward Wolfgang and Monroe—to help provide stability, care, and opportunities as they grow up without their mother’s physical presence, but forever with her love.

Every donation, no matter how small, is a step toward helping this beautiful family heal and rebuild. Let’s honor Dot’s memory by lifting up the people she loved the most.
