Delois Lee Tabb, 70, affectionately known as “Donnie”, “Pearl,” lovingly called by her son, and “Aunt Don Don” was called home by the Master Wednesday, April 10, 2019. A lifelong resident of Charles City County, Virginia, she was born Oct. 19, 1948, to the late Grace and Alfred Tabb.
At an early age, she professed her faith in Christ and joined Mount Zion Baptist Church. She was a lifelong member. She was educated in the Charles City County Public Schools. She drove the school bus for the county and was a truck driver for Henry Branscome Inc. for many years.
