Harry “Dolly” Gilbert Conklin, 86, of Mt. Holly, passed away on Monday, April 5, 2021. He was the son of Harry William and Deborah E. Bramble Conklin. Dolly was an avid Waterman who enjoyed everything the water had to offer which included: fishing, crabbing, sunsets and the wildlife.

Gillions (Robert), Laurie Watrous, Deborah Susan Leo, and Rebecca Louise Curry (Brian); six grandchildren, Rob Gillions (Kathryn), Basye Gillions (Nancy), Shelley Evans (Ben), Eric Watrous, Ryan Watrous and Carsyn Curry; four great-grandchildren, and sister, Patricia Lee.
