Dorothy Montgomery Naylor Jarboe, 77, of Danville, died Monday, January 25, 2021 in her home at Morning Pointe Senior Living. Born January 2, 1944 in Parksville, she was the daughter of Robert Jefferie Montgomery and Maggie Ellen Honaker Montgomery. She was a graduate of Forkland High School, the former Vice President of Teller Operations at Farmers National Bank, and after retiring she was active in the Ephraim McDowell Hospital Auxiliary. Dot loved Jesus, was a member of The Carpenters Christian Church where she was involved with Spirit Lifters and enjoyed traveling to hear gospel music. She was a wonderful cook and loved feeding her family and friends. Dot was the biggest Elvis fan and loved UK men’s basketball. She used her spiritual gifts of generosity and serving others and she used them well! Her door was always open to welcome any visitor earning her the nickname of “Momma Dot”. We know she was welcomed home with open arms and “Well done, good and faithful servant!” She was preceded in death by both parents, her spouses, James Naylor and Chester Jarboe and siblings Leona Montgomery, Beulah Montgomery, Robert Montgomery Jr., Buford Montgomery and Carol Montgomery.
She is survived by her daughters, Tara Short (Robin) of Harrodsburg and Tina Bradley (James) of Crestwood; grandchildren Kara Bradley, Kaitlyn Bradley, Zak Pruitt, Kaycee Short and Jonah Short; her brothers Carl Montgomery (Susie) of Stanford, Bernard Montgomery (Carolyn) of Danville, and sisters Jean Cummins, Sue Anderson (Dudley) and Betty Proffitt (Daniel), all of Danville.
