Dot graduated from Ecru High School and attended Blue Mountain for two years, studying elementary education. She then taught school in Sherman, MS, where she met and married James Jim Simmons. Their marriage was blessed with two children, James Michael Mike Simmons and Dorothy Susan Susie Simmons. The family lived in various cities over the years, including Cabot, Forrest City, and West Helena, Arkansas, as well as Jackson, MS. were living in West Helena at the time of Jims death, but Dot later moved back to Jackson where she had many friends and several family members. During that time, she met and married Dr George G. Townsend from Forest, MS, and moved there with him in 1971. his death in 1976, she returned to Jackson where she remained until she moved to Traceway Retirement in Tupelo.

Affectionately called Mama Dot by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, she was a devout Christian from an early age, a devoted wife and mother who deeply loved her family and treasured her friends, of whom there were so many. She was a gracious hostess ,a competitive bridge player, and an avid golfer. She loved to watch sports on television, and was a devoted Mississippi State fan.

Dot was always active in the Baptist faith, since her father was a Baptist minister . She worked in School, missions groups, and taught kindergarten in several Baptist churches over the years. . As a young woman, she was selected as Miss Ecru in the local beauty pageant; however, her father, with his stern Baptist roots, would not allow her to participate in the next level of the state pageant, because she would have to wear a bathing suit on stage! That was always one of the lighter things that her family kidded about! At the time of her death, Dot was a member of Harrisburg Baptist Church in Tupelo, the place where her father served as the second church pastor in the 1930s During her life, Mama Dot touched the lives of many children and adults in a positive way. Through her example, she shared her love of life and her love for God with her family and her many friends.
