She is survived by her sister Edna Earl "Punk" Bilbo and her husband Gerald Bilbo, her brother Henry Richard "Sonny" Stevenson, Jr. and his wife Janie, her sons Scott Alan Gentry, Russell Dale Gentry and wife Brandi Gentry, and David Thomas Gentry, and her beloved grandchildren Ashley, Paul and Chloe Gentry and Bethanie, Matthew and Alexandria Gentry, and numerous nieces, nephews and grand nephews. Dorothy Fay Stevenson Gentry retired from Bank of America after 44 years of service. She grew up in Southeast Texas and graduated from Vidor High School in 1961. She moved to Dallas shortly after that. She met a handsome young man named John Gentry and married him in 1964. They were married for 34 years and raised three sons. They moved to Mesquite, Texas in 1978 and she lived in the same house until her death. Dorothy loved many things such as sports, music (especially Elvis), woodworking, and collecting memorabilia. She played basketball in high school and played softball until the age of 50. In her later years, her life revolved around her grandchildren. She seemed to be the happiest when surrounded by her family. She also enjoyed her time with her friends and fellowship on card night and Bible study. She will be sorely missed because she touched so many lives, be it long term or short. She always was smiling, even when times were not so perfect. Her visitation will be Wednesday night from 6-8:00 p.m. at the Eastgate Funeral Home Chapel. Her service will be at 11:00 a.m. at the Grandview Baptist Church 1401 I-30 in Mesquite.
