Dolly Ann Armstead, 71, passed away in the comfort of her home with her children and loved ones by her side on Wednesday, May 13, 2015.
She was born Jan. 15, 1944 in Phoenix, Ariz. Dolly was an Arizona native and a resident of Payson for 44 years. On July 27, 1963 she married the love of her life, Ronald Armstead, and they spent 49 wonderful years together. Together they had three amazing children, eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild: sons, Michael Armstead of Payson and Timothy Armstead of Mesa; daughter, Misty Armstead (Jason) of Arlington, Wash.; granddaughters, Tabitha, Aimee, Makenzie, Maya, Alison, Trinity and Taylor; grandson, Austin; great-granddaughter, Harper.
When growing up, she was the cutest blond-haired, blue-eyed doll face. She was from a large family; she was number 6 out of 8 children, 6 sisters and 1 brother: Eva Jean Alberta Cooley, Catherine Imojean Paradis, Johnny May Bell Pruett, Willadean Sweatt, Vivian Joyce Cottrell, Diana Lea Halsey and Dan Anderson Pruett.
Dolly Ann was a hairdresser for 38 years. She was the proud owner of the Doll House in the Swiss Village shopping center. She had so many wonderful clients over the years that just loved her. She was very creative and outspoken. You never had to wonder what was on her mind. Dolly has always been there for everyone that has ever crossed her path. Always having a smile and happy attitude towards everything and everyone.
“We all adored her and cherished her love for each and every one of us. She is peacefully resting with our Heavenly Father. Psalms 23,” writes the family.
An open house to celebrate Dolly’s life will be held from noon to 5 p.m., Saturday May 16 at the Armstead residence at 211 W. Saddle Lane in Payson, Ariz.
