Dovie Lee Frith, of Farmerville LA, peacefully went home to be with her heavenly father at her youthful age of ninety-three on December 23, 2023. Dovie was a very loving person who cared about and loved her family along with friends and people she met wherever she went and loved by them in return. Always willing to help and care for those she loved and anyone that needed help. She was the strongest branch of the family tree and poured love into every leaf that sprouted. She loved to read and quilt, always gifting her favorite books and beautiful quilts to family and friends.
