Mary L. Slaughter
(August 13, 1916 – April 7, 2012)

SALISBURY, NC- Mary Louise Slaughter, aged 95, passed peacefully into the Lord’s presence in her sleep during the late evening of April 7th, 2012.
Born a coal miner’s daughter in Rimersburg, PA, on Aug. 13, 1916, Mary Louise Carr was raised by her foster parents, Walter & Pearl Gilham, who named her Dorothy. The Gilham’s moved frequently but Dorothy spent a great deal of time on her Grandma Johnson’s farm near Newcomerstown, Ohio.

Dorothy graduated from high school in Coshocton, playing on the girls basketball team and playing the violin in the symphony orchestra. A senior prom date with Donald Slaughter set Dorothy on her future path. They were married soon after and settled in Coshocton, Ohio where their six children were born.
