Billie Jo Dunagan passed away Tuesday January 23, 2007 in her home south of Animas. She fought a battle with Diabetes for about 25 years and was forced to undergo dialysis three days a week for the past 16 months. Her heart could not keep up with the battle and she died peacefully in her favorite chair at home surrounded by family members and her husband of more than 48 years. It is her request that she be cremated and then placed in the coffin with her husband when he passes.
A pot-luck memorial service will be held Sunday January 28 at 11 o'clock in the morning at the Animas Community Center. There will be no graveside service or burial. The family has asked that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the American Kidney Fund; Suite 1010, 6110 Executive Blvd.; Rockville, MD 20852 in her memory.
