Funeral services for Sally Ann Dossett Hart were held at 3:00 pm on Tuesday, April 1, 2025 from the First Baptist Church of Newton with Rev. Chris Spence officiating.
Burial will be at 11:30 am on Wednesday, April 2, 2025 at New Palestine Cemetery in Picayune under the direction of Newton County Funeral Home.
Mrs. Hart was born August 9, 1938 in Picayune, MS to George Leon Dossett and Catherine Rowell Dossett. She graduated from Picayune Memorial High School in 1956 and Pearl River Junior College in 1958. She graduated with a degree in accounting and business administration in 1960 from The University of Southern Mississippi.
Upon graduation, she worked in the accounting department at Shell Oil in New Orleans. On March 5, 1961 she married the love of her life, James Allen Hart. They resided in Picayune until moving to Newton, MS in 1965. Here they raised a family and she spent many years as the Business Manager of Clarke College. She was very involved in the community, serving on the Chamber of Commerce, Friends of the Depot, and played the organ at Calvary Baptist Church almost every Sunday for over 30 years.
Her priorities were her faith and family. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Nothing made her happier than being surrounded by as many of her family members as possible.
She passed away on Sunday, March 30, 2025 at her home at the age of 86.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Leon and Catherine Dossett.
She is survived by her husband of 64 years, James Allen Hart of Newton; three children, Kaki Bounds (Bo) of Laurel, Allen Hart (Teresa) of Newton, and Sue McLemore (Jay) of Franklin, TN; seven grandchildren, Adam Bounds (Whitney) of Hattiesburg, Melissa Anderson (Mylan) of Puckett, Lee Bounds (Noelle) and Lane Bounds, both of Laurel, and Josh, Seth, and Ann Dossett McLemore, all of Franklin, TN; seven great-grandchildren Collier Anderson, Wilkes Bounds, Baylor Bounds, Hartley Bounds, Gentry Bounds, Audrey Bounds, and Andrew Bounds.
Visitation was Tuesday at First Baptist Church of Newton, two hours prior to the services at the church.
