Our utterly beautiful Matriarch, Doris A. Dunn, is now a star that shines above us during our darkest night. Our beloved mother, grandmother, sister and aunt passed into eternal life at 7:32pm on September 16, 2021. This was very significant for our family as 916 is a special number and it was nothing short of her grace to ensure her deep love for her family to choose 9/16 to join her beloved Bob on the other side.
Best known as The Original Cookie Lady, her love for baking was shared for years in the community with the most precise decorating you ever did see. Anyone who tried to recreate was always told politely that they did their best, but she can just do it herself. She never met a puzzle she couldn't conquer, or a slot machine she didn't love. There was always a puzzle table in the living room that anyone who would visit would always sit down and try to find a piece. Her love for games was strong and could be found happily perched in front of the Wheel of Fortune machines at the casino with her sidekick and sister, Louise, or "sorely" losing at Kings in the Corner with her granddaughter, Emily. Even though it's been 26 years since Bob passed, the family still remembers the epic card battles between them. She fulfilled the last item on her bucket list to see those breathtaking Colorado mountains one more time and spend time with her loving sister, Carol.
Her love for her family ran deep and she was happiest when everyone was gathered together. Halloween was always the gathering place because she had the best location in town and gave out the best bags of candy. She would fill those bags months in advance. She always put the kids first especially while raising her own and her love for the neighborhood kids was strong. She literally made money grow on trees for them. She would take spare change and sprinkle it by the "money tree" in the neighborhood.
Doris was born in Lyons, Ohio on June 22, 1932, to Charles and Meryl Smith along with her six siblings. On May 10th, 1952, she married the love of her life, Robert "Beefy" Dunn and he preceded her in death on June 1, 1995. Together Bob and Doris raised six children in a 3-bedroom home with only 1 bathroom.
Doris is survived by her loving children: Daughter in law, Martha Dunn, Tom Dunn, Bobbie (Tracy Wise) Kehlmeier, Tammy (Tony) Williams, Kay (Mark) Lenox, and Pat (Jenni) Dunn; Grandchildren: Ryan Dunn, Lisa (Mike) Feather, Sara (John) Houghtaling, Emily Kehlmeier, Nate Kehlmeier, Brandon (Kelsey) Dunn, Jordyn Dunn, Travis (Katherine) Bohland, Jacey Giles; Great Grandchildren: Olivia and Morgan Feather, Ava and Addy Houghtaling, Mara Dunn and Emmett Cutchall. Doris was fortunate enough to have many bonus grands and greats that she adored. She is also survived by her loving sisters, Carol Post and Donna (Larry) Smith, brother: Clarence (Norma) Smith, Special Nephew, Jeff (Lynn) Smith and many other nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 43 years, Robert "Beefy" Dunn; son, Jerry L. Dunn; daughter in law, Susan Dunn; son in law, Tom Perry; brothers, Charles and Jerry; sister: Louise "Weezie" Wisniewski.
