Dorothy Daleann Mays

January 19, 1958 - April 11, 2020

Dorothy Daleann Mays, 62, of Fairmont, passed away on Saturday, April 11, 2020, at United Hospital Center in Bridgeport. She was born on January 19, 1958, in Fairmont, a daughter of the late Delbert Kittle and Jean (Poling) Kittle. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and homemaker. She will be remembered for her love of animals (especially her dogs), bingo, fishing, and talking to her friends on Facebook (and all social media), but most of all, for the love of her family, particularly her grandchildren. Despite her illnesses, she was always an upbeat and cheerful person. She is survived by her husband of 46 years, Ronald L. Mays. She is also survived by son, Ronald L. Mays II, of Fairmont; daughters, Christina Mays and companion Roger Starkey, of Barrackville, and Donna Cottrill and husband Michael, of Morgantown; brother, Kevin Kittle, of Fairmont; sister, Mary Miner, of Fairview; two granddaughters, eight grandsons, two great-granddaughters, and one great-grandson. In keeping with her wishes, she will be cremated, with a private service taking place at a later time. Interment will take place at West Virginia National Cemetery in Grafton.
