Mabel Durham Dozier

July 16, 1950 - September 1, 2020

Chesapeake ~ Mabel Durham Dozier was born in Raleigh, North Carolina on July 16, 1950 to Henry Watson Dozier and Sue Mangum Dozier. Although she had no siblings, she was part of a large, loving family of cousins in Raleigh and Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Mae graduated high school from Needham Broughton in 1968 and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting at East Carolina University, graduating Summa Cum Laude in 1997. She received CPA Certifications from the NC Association and the American Institute of CPA.

Mae lived in Massachusetts and then Greenville, North Carolina while she was married. She settled in Chesapeake, Virginia where she began her career with the US Coast Guard in December 1998. She was hired permanently in the Finance Center in December 2004 and was preparing to retire later in 2020 with 21 years of service

Mae was an adventurer. For many years she spent vacations scuba diving in and around Bonaire and traveling to the Southwest where she loved hiking, participating in native ceremonies, and engaging in the local culture. She was naturally drawn to the beauty of crystals and loved being with friends she had made over the years at the gem shows.

Her two Himalayan cats were her special boys, and she spoiled them accordingly. Her other passion was being outside and taking care of herself. She adhered mostly to a vegetarian diet and walked about three miles a day. She loved to work in her yard, spread out bags of mulch and plant flowers.

Mae earned a Master Wirkus Bioeneregy certificate from Mietek Wirkus whom she worked with for many years at Wells Therapeutic in Virginia Beach. Mietek and his wife, Margaret traveled from Poland to the U.S. several times each year and Mae treasured her time with them, scheduling appointments and being with their clients. Mae volunteered on weekends during conferences at The Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.).

Mae lived her life doing what she loved and she shared her love, talents and heart with everyone. When I think of her personal accomplishments, her commitment to help others and her gentle yet confident demeanor, there is one word that summarizes her life, and that is authenticity.

In lieu of flowers, donations in her honor would be appreciated to the Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), 215 67^th Street, Virginia Beach, VA 23451.

My dear old friend. We lost tough many years ago but I always thought of you. Just yesterday I mentioned you to friends. That made me google you to day to fine you so we could reconnect. My heart was crushed fo find your beautiful obituary instead. Tomorrow I will go diving for you here on Bonaire in your memory. My your sweet, sweet sole be resting in peace.

When someone is as dear as "Mae" it is hard to let them go. To us it seems so terribly early for Mae to leave us. To the Source... it is perfect timing. May all who loved Mae; be blessed by knowing that they had the privilege of having Mae in their lives. Blessings!

Mae was such a special person. She was the light and she sparkled with bright positive energy. I will miss her dearly but I will never forget her. Until we meet again Mae!

Mae, my heart goes out to your family and cats. I know how special they were to you. I considered you a friend. I will miss you deeply. Thank you for being with me during my time of need. Rest in peace Mae.

Mae, Mae’s obituary fails to mention that my mother, Marion Ballance Dozier, married her father and looked after him for the final years of his life and reunited her with her father and that she and I were siblings and she considered me as her older brother and I considered her my only sister...

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I miss you sweet Mae! So glad you were my special cousin. You will always be in my heart!

Love and miss you Miss Mae. May your onward path be as blessed as you have made ours!❣

My condolences to Mae's friends and family. Mae was the first smiling face I would see in the mornings when we worked together for the conferences at the Edgar Cayce Center and often the last volunteer to leave in the evening. She was so giving and gracious to everyone and we will miss her more than we can say. I know her sweet soul is enjoying this next great adventure and we send her light and love till we meet again!
