Raleigh
Henderson Dulaney CHARLOTTE - Mrs.
Raleigh H. Dulaney of Charlotte and Blowing
Rock, NC passed away on July 16, 2013, at
her home in Charlotte after a brave, 24-year
fight against breast cancer. Born on February
14, 1938, Raleigh was the daughter of the late
Homer Eugene Henderson and Minifred Smith
Henderson. She grew up in Houston, Texas
where she graduated from Lamar High School.
Raleigh attended Randolph-Macon Woman's College but returned after
the death of her father to attend the University of Texas, where she was a
member of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. She graduated from the University
of Houston. She remained an avid Longhorn fan, celebrating their football
triumphs while ringing her cowbell. At age 16, while visiting her aunt in
Blowing Rock, she met Joseph Daingerfield Dulaney at Westglow, his
family home. They were married on August 19, 1961, and remained
married for almost 52 years. Their love of Blowing Rock kept them
returning every year to enjoy their many friends, play bridge, and continue
their appreciation of art. Raleigh had an amazing memory for times and
places that meant much to her and loved giving little presents or sending
articles from the paper to her friends about their interests. She treasured
more than anything spending time with her family, including her dogs.
In addition to her husband Joe, Raleigh is survived by her son Joseph
Daingerfield Dulaney, Jr. (Dain) and his wife, Anna Rouse Dulaney;
her daughter, Anna Dulaney Butler and her husband Craig Thomas
Butler; her grandchildren, Joseph Daingerfield Dulaney, III (Tripp),
Anna Hawkins Dulaney, Rebecca Elizabeth Rouse, Isabel Casey Butler,
Danielle Carina Butler, Joshua Jorge Butler and her dog, Oscar; her
extended family, Elliott Daingerfield Dulaney and his wife Julie
Reynolds Dulaney, her Texas family, Minifred Boyles Trigg, Agnes
Boyles Moritz and her husband, Burt Edwin Moritz, and their children
and grandchildren. Raleigh taught preschool at Christ Episcopal
Church, and volunteered at Winghaven, the Mint Museum of Charlotte,
the Blowing Rock Art and History Museum (BRAHM), Urban
Ministries of Charlotte, the Crisis Assistance Ministry, and Charlotte
Country Day School. She was a member of the Junior League of
Charlotte, the Charlotte Debutante Club and the Blowing Rock Country
Club. She was a long time member of both Christ Episcopal Church
and St. Mary of the Hills Episcopal Church. The family will receive
