Dorothy (Ione) Downing Born 10/21/1944 in Pine bluff, Arkansas. Died 5/3/2016. She is survived by husband Lee Downing and two sons, Quinn and Jared. She and Lee had been married 50 years. She was very artistic and loved to paint. But raising 3 boys and taking care of all the household chores did not leave much time to paint. As the boy's were growing up she stated to do some modeling. But as time went by and opportunities were opening up to her, she reasoned on things from a spiritual standpoint and knew it was best to stop and do more in her Christian service. She was a very good cook, and never ceased to amaze us. What she could do, sometimes with little to work with, was beyond belief. She loved the brothers and sisters and will be missed by all. But now she sleeps awaiting the time when she will see the fulfillment of all of Jehovah's promises about a paradise come true.
