MANNING - Dorothy Agnes Mason Howarth, 92, widow of William John "Bud" Howarth, went home to be with Jesus on Friday, June 14, 2019, at her residence.

Born Jan. 24, 1927, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of the late Francis James Mason and Mary Alice Bouland Mason.

Dorothy retired from Conrail and was formerly employed with the Philadelphia Dairy, where she met her late husband.

Dorothy loved to be the queen of everything; she never passed up an opportunity to travel, party or joke around with friends and family. She was devoted to her family and always enjoyed life and visiting those she loved.

She is survived by a daughter, Juanita Peters, and her husband, Ralph, of Mt. Pleasant; three grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; five great-great-grandchildren; and a brother, Frank Mason (Margaret) of Florida.

In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by two sons, James William Howarth and William Howarth; and a granddaughter, Melanie Howarth.
