Dorothy (Dot) Jane Wesley Moon

October 16, 1934 - May 8, 2022

MOON – Dorothy (Dot) Jane Wesley Moon, age 87, went to her heavenly home on Mother’s Day, May 8, 2022. Funeral Services will be held Thursday, May 12 at 11:00 AM at the Chapel of Tim Stewart Funeral Home. Rev. Caleb Stallings will officiate. Interment will be Gwinnett Memorial Park. Dot was employed by Sears Roebuck and Company on Ponce de Leon before venturing out with her husband—James into several family-owned businesses, including Moon’s Lawn and Garden Nursery, Moon’s Wholesale Sod, Moon’s Vacuum Sweeper Service, and Love ‘n Care Nursery and Kindergarten. Our mom was strong, resilient and a hard worker who never gave up no matter what. A house fire, a flooded business and basement, multiple battles with cancer (which she won), and back surgery could not bring her down— She always looked adversity in the face and prevailed through her steadfast faith. Mom stopped running the family business just two years ago. She loved connecting with all people, helping others, and never met a stranger. She kept every card, letter, and picture of her “extended” families all these years—her love was unwavering. She gave away her delicious pound cakes and crocheted blankets; and was a voracious reader. She shared a love of flowers and plants with everyone including Dale Murphy and other former players for the Atlanta Braves. She was open and accepting of all people from all walks of life and could be heard exclaiming frequently, “Isn’t this heavenly!” when she was outside in the sunshine. Mom attended Maranatha Baptist Church and accepted Christ into her heart; she is now singing, dancing, and playing basketball in heaven (something she loved to do with her grandchildren). In her sweet style, she claimed Mother’s Day as her own special day this year—her legacy and love live on forever! Mom, we love you to the moon and back. Dorothy was preceded in death by her siblings, Marvin H. Wesley, Jr. & Mary Alice Mills; parents, Edna & Marvin H. Wesley, Sr.; father-in-law and mother-in-law, John Henry & Lucille Moon.
