“Aunt Dot,” as she was known to many, passed away peacefully on March 4, 2024. She dedicated her time and talents to her family, friends, and community, to ensure that she left the world in a better place. 

She required so little in life and yet, gave so much. Aunt Dot was a dedicated wife to her husband of almost 30 years, Benjamin (Bennie) Channel Lundy; a dedicated daughter to Sydney Terrell (Billie) and Mattie Rebecca Linch Carnes; a loving bonus-mother to Linda Lundy Copelan; a fun and loving sister to her five siblings, Carlton Carnes, Lynwood Carnes, Florence Carnes Embry, Irene Carnes Holt, and Frances Carnes Allen.

In her earlier years, Aunt Dot attended business school and then worked for Attorneys in Gainesville, Georgia, and eventually retired from Georgia Power in April 1989 with 28 years of service.

 She devoted her life to her family and was so proud of her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. She has left a huge hole in their hearts and a valued impression on their lives.

Survivors include: Daughter, Linda Lundy Copelan (Tommy) of Eatonton, GA; Grandson, Rusty Copelan (Libby), Eatonton, GA; Grandson, Dean Copelan (Ashley), Macon, GA.; Granddaughter, Ashley Copelan, Eatonton, GA.; Great Grandson, Cody Copelan (Macy) and son, Brooks, Eatonton, GA.; Great Granddaughter Kacee Copelan Andrews (Chris) and daughters, Remy and Blair, Atlanta, GA.; Great Granddaughter, Elizabeth Watson (Robby) and son Will, Macon, GA; Great Grandson, Chan Copelan, Jacksonville, FL; Sister, Irene Carnes Holt, Eatonton, GA; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family.
