Dorothy Zetty

Dorothy "Dottie" Kay Zetty, 78, of Conyers, passed away surrounded by family on January 17th, 2025. She was born and raised in Canton, OH where she attended Canton South High School (Class of '64) and played French Horn in the marching band. From there, she moved to KY where she met her husband, Dave, while studying at Kentucky Christian University. They got married in 1966 and moved back to Ohio for a short period before moving to Georgia. Once they settled down South, Dottie and Dave became foster parents to many children at the Christian City Children's Village in Union City, GA where they lived and worked for about 7 years. Their son Bill was born in 1978. Shortly after, they moved to Conyers where Dottie lived out the rest of her life. She was a long-time member of Mount Carmel Christian Church, and later at Lilburn Christian Church, where she worked in the kitchen, played hand bells, and sang in the church choir. In her free time, she loved to bake, cook, crochet/knit/sew (yes all 3!), garden, and read. She would often make the most delicious cakes and cookies for weddings, birthdays, and holidays. She also was an amazing seamstress as seen in the many beautiful clothes she made by hand. In Dottie's time here on Earth, she touched the lives of many people that have grown to care for her deeply. She always gave everything she had to anyone that needed it, and she truly cared for all of her family and friends. She will be greatly missed, but will live on in our hearts. She is survived by her son William J. Zetty; her siblings Phyllis M. Paul, Margaret "Betsy" Lawhun, Bernard "Bernie" Schneider, Jonathan "Jon" Schneider, David H. Schneider; plus many foster children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband Jonathan David Zetty, her parents Joseph B. and Betty J. Schneider, and her brother Richard S. Schneider. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to a visitation on Thursday, January 23rd from 5-7pm, followed by a memorial service to celebrate Dottie's life on Friday, January 24th at 2pm. Both will be at Scot Ward Funeral Home, 699 American Legion Rd NE, Conyers. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Kentucky Christian University (https://www.kcu.edu) or the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA - https://www.mda.org).
