    Obituary for Dora Elizabeth Mingo (Kelley)

    Dora Elizabeth  Mingo (Kelley)
    Dora Elizabeth Mingo was born February 4, 1928 in Harborton, Virginia to the late Teagle & Ella Richardson Kelley. She was one of thirteen children. Elizabeth, as she was affectionately known as, received her education in the public school system of Virginia.

    In 1953, Elizabeth met and married James A. Mingo who spoiled her royally with the finer things in life. This was a marriage of devoted love and admiration for 60 years. They made their home in Long Island, New York and were blessed in later years to receive a son, John E. Mingo, into their family.

    In June 1972, after deciding to leave New York, Elizabeth and James made their home in Bridgeville, Delaware. Elizabeth had a passion for working and found employment at the U.S.D.A. Research Laboratory in Georgetown, Delaware.

    Elizabeth was an immaculate housekeeper. She prided herself in making her home beautiful and loved showing it to persons that would visit for the first time.

    Elizabeth would answer to the names of: Liz, Sis, Lizabeth, Aunt Liz, and Aunt Elizabeth. She showed love for others and often would give nieces and nephews things of great value without even thinking twice about it. Her hobbies included cleaning and cooking. One of her favorite dishes was her macaroni and cheese. Elizabeth will be missed by many.

    Elizabeth leaves to cherish her memory: a son John E. Mingo, one sister Mallie Horsley of Philadelphia PA, a devoted and loveable great niece, Tamara Massey, who would take her out shopping, to hair appointments, church outings and simply eating out every now and then. She also has a host of other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends who loved her dearly.

    We will often sit and think of you
    When we are all alone
    For memory is the only thing
    That grief can call its own.
    We will miss you in many ways
    The cheery smiles, the waving hand
    As days go by
    But we will remember that we may again meet you by & by,
    God knows how much we will miss you
    Never shall your memories fade
    Loving thoughts will always wander
    To the spot where you are laid
