She attended the public schools of Christian County and was a graduate of Crispus Attucks High School (Indianapolis). At an early age she professed her faith in Jesus Christ and joined First Baptist Church. Later in life she joined Mount Carmel Missionary Baptist Church, where she served faithfully as a member of the Nurses’ Guild.
She was united in holy matrimony to Harry Covington, in October 1970.

As a result of her generous and witty personality, she was loved by many and her influence will forever remain in the lives of all who knew her.
She quietly departed this life on Wednesday, September 19, 2018.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Harry Covington, sister, Carrie Cecil Jones, brother, Johnny McKnight, and parents, Louis and Dorsie Kendrick.
Her beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of her daughter, Beverlee Ann Miller, and grandchildren, Christopher Miller, Geralyn Miller and Toni Troutman, and a host of devoted nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, September 28, 2018 at Indiana Funeral Care, Harry W Moore Chapel; with visitation beginning at 9 a.m. Dorothy will be laid to rest at Crown Hill Cemetery.

I wanted to send my love and condolences to the Covington family. I’m so very sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Dorothy personally, but I still wanted to share my sympathies. A scripture that has always been comforting to me is 2 Corinthians 1:3,4, which says, in part, “the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.” God will provide you the needed strength and comfort to get through this difficult time, as well as a beautiful hope for the future, found at John 5:28,29, which promises us the resurrection hope-the hope of being reunited with our lost loved ones. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
