The family of Edna Dunaway Warrick is saddened to announce her passing on Saturday, May 15, 2010, at King's Daughters Medical Center. She was born Dec. 15, 1924, in New Orleans.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Willard Henry Dunaway. They were the beloved parents and in-laws of Linda Dunaway Townsend and Wilton Townsend, of Spring, Texas, Larry Willard Dunaway and Diane Redd Dunaway, of Columbia, James Gerald Dunaway and Peggy Patterson Dunaway, of Moultrie, Ga.; Stanley Wayne Dunaway and Algirda Lickute Dunaway of Highlands Ranch, Colo.; and, Norman Eugene Dunaway and Peggy Everett Dunaway, of Brookhaven. She was the loving grandmother of Stephanie Townsend Farmer, Erica Townsend Whitaker, Brian Townsend; Timothy Dunaway, Todd Dunaway; Paige Dunaway Short, Beth Dunaway Cassini; Matthew Dunaway; and, Allison Dunaway, Ginny Dunaway. To her great-grandchildren, Peyton and Braden Farmer, Chase and Bristol Whitaker and great-stepgrandchildren Ashley and Cheyenne Whitaker; Gracie Dunaway; Katherine, Landry and Madeline Short, she was fondly called "GiGi." She was adored by her nieces and nephews. Her niece Janice Herrington considered her a second mother.

She was also preceded in death by her second husband Elmer Winston Warrick. Her stepchildren and in-laws are Larry and Amelia Warrick; Wayne and Juletta Warrick; and Darlene Warrick. Grandchildren are Natasha Douglas and Julie Williamson. Great-grandchildren are Zach Douglas, Emily Douglas, Tristen Sills, Micah Williamson and Shelby Williamson.

She was in the employ of Keystone Seneca for 17 years. She attended Union Baptist Church and later, Cold Springs Church of Christ. She spent many hours in the company of Scarlett Allen, one of her caregivers. Every friendship was precious.

Visitation is Monday, May 17, from 6 until 9 p.m. at Harrigill Funeral Home. Services will be held on Tuesday in the chapel at 11 a.m., with burial at Union Baptist Church Cemetery on Union Road Southeast in the East Lincoln community.

No more pain. Only peace and tranquility. She set an example for all her family, one of pure determination, sacrifice, kindness, giving and sweetness - all tremendous attributes exceeded only by God's Grace toward her.
