Dorothy Isaac Obituary

Dorothy Mae Isaac, affectionately known a "Ms. Dot" was born on May 8, 1930, in Columbia SC, the beloved daughter of the late Nathaniel and Lena Powell LeBrew. She peacefully departed this earthly life on Thursday, January 22,2026.

Dorothy Mae was educated in the public schools of Richland County where she attended Booker T. Washington High School. She also dedicated 36 years to "Epworth Children's Home" in Columbia, SC.

Those who knew "Ms. Dot" remember her as a beautiful soul and a radiant light, always bringing joy to wherever she went.

She was a very long-time and faithful member of Zion Mill Creek Baptist Church where she sang with the Senior Choir and participated with the Women's Missionary Society.

Ms. Isaac found joy in spending time shopping for her Sunday suits and the perfect hat to match. She also loved watching the "Price is Right" and the Young in the Restless ,while sitting in her recliner with her breakfast and coffee.

Ms. Dot was welcomed with open arms as she was reunited with her beloved grandmother, Estell Powell, Parents, Nathaniel (Lena) LaBrew; Heyward Isaac, her beloved husband, and her sister, Estell Adams.

Ms. Dot leaves behind a legacy of cherished memories with her loving children, Causandra Diamond, Linda Taylor, Willie (Mary)Young, James Young, Ernest Young, and Gerard Young; a host of grandchildren; greatgrandchildren; aunts, uncles, and other loving relatives and dear friends, all of whom will dearly miss her because she was a joy in all of their lives.
