Anna Gunn,
age 59, formerly of Ventura, Ca., passed away on Tuesday, May 27, 2014. Anna was born June
24, 1954, to Fred and Tanny Gunn. She was the first child; trailblazing the way for her younger
siblings, John and Carol. She attended Mound Elementary School, Loma Vista Elementary
School, Anacapa Junior High School and Ventura High School. Outgoing, she was always
on-the-go and loved being with her friends. Anna got the "travel bug" in junior high school, when
travelling to Mexico with the YMCA over winter break. In high school, she lived as an exchange
student with an Austrian chocolatier and his family for a summer. Since that time, her passport
was always in date, poised and ready, so she could travel at a moment's notice. As a young girl of
five years of age, her family began the tradition of going to the Lair of the Bear (University of
California) family camp annually. Then during her summers in college, she was a Camp Gold
staffer for multiple years. After she had her family, she again returned to the Lair. She loved the
Lair and all of its traditions. (Go Bears!) Anna began her undergraduate studies at UCSB, and
then finished at UCLA, with a B.A. in Political Science. One of her favorite times in college was
attending World Campus Afloat. She travelled through Africa, India, and then Southeast Asia.
While on-board, she was selected to be part of one of the first American groups to enter China.
After she completed that trip of a lifetime, she continued both her passion for international travel
and business and obtained a M. S., in International Business, from Saint Mary's College of
California. Her first professional position was with Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays. She then
answered an ad about working abroad, and landed an expatriate position with Flexi-Van,
stationed in Singapore for nearly two years. In her free time, she again travelled throughout
Southeast Asia. She returned with Flexi-Van to a position in San Francisco. Later, she worked
for nine years for Wells Fargo Bank, with her favorite position in corporate training. In 1992, she
married and just two years later she gave birth to the joy of her life, Kevin, in 1994. Despite
being a single mother the last 10 years, she raised Kevin to be the fine young man that he is.
Anna was an exceptionally attentive and fiercely protective mother. She considered that
successfully raising Kevin to be her greatest accomplishment. In 1997, Anna was diagnosed with
late stage breast cancer. For treatment, she underwent an autologous transplant, chemo and
radiation. She did exceptionally well after a yearlong fight in fact, she did so well, everyone
thought she had beaten it completely. She returned to work when Kevin was in elementary
school. She loved her position at Springcreek Advisors, a financial consulting group, and counted
her colleagues and clients there as a second family. She joined Collins and Company in late
2011, and immediately felt as if she was a key contributor to the small firm. In summer of 2012,
she first learned her bone marrow was failing, likely due to her earlier chemo treatment for breast
cancer. After investigating her alternatives, she elected to have an allogeneic bone marrow
transplant at Stanford. Her best match was a young man, who was allergic to avocadoes which
meant she too would become allergic to avocadoes after the transplant! In January 2013, she took
a leave of absence from Collins and Company, and began the transplant process with Stanford.
She was transplanted in February, and recovered reasonably well. Unfortunately, beginning in
summer 2013, she began having additional concerning symptoms. After her health improved
somewhat in December 2013, she returned back to work for Collins and Company, the firm that
had been so generous to her and her son. Sadly, this spring, her health began to decline, and was
re-admitted to Stanford in early May. Her doctors again thought she was finally on the road to
recovery and were planning her discharge when she passed away somewhat unexpectedly. Anna
is survived by her son, Kevin Mauer. She is also survived by her sister, Carol Gunn, of
Beaverton, Oregon and her niece, Charlotte, of Washington.

Barbara Ann Harrell Gunn
died after a brief illness on November 12, 2015. Barbara was born December 20, 1930 in
Montgomery, AL to Lula and Charles T. Harrell. The family moved to Atlanta when Barbara was
so young that she always considered herself a "native" Atlantan. She attended E. Rivers
Elementary and North Fulton High. The highlight of her HS senior year was her selection as the
Sweetheart of Sigma Chi Emory University Chapter. She attended Shorter College, Baylor
University and graduated from Oglethorpe University. A homemaker and educator, she was
active with the youth of Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church until the business world opened
up new opportunities in which she thrived. With Harry Norman, Realtors, she started as a
receptionist ("but don't ask me to type") then moved to Relocation Services ultimately rising to
Vice President of Relocation Services, where she successfully "sold" Atlanta to many major
corporate clients. Harry Norman, Jr. personally encouraged her to expand her involvement in the
economic development of Atlanta and Georgia and she proceeded to have, in her words, "thirty
amazing and wonderful years" with the company. She began her career in relocation when this
specialty was in its infancy and when she retired she was known as the "Grandmother of
Relocation". In more recent years friends have laid the blame of Atlanta traffic snarls squarely on
her successful relocation shoulders!! During her remarkable career, she was involved in many
organizations and received awards and honors. She was an active member of the Atlanta Board
of Realtors, the Georgia Economic Development Association, the Atlanta Community Housing
Research Board, the Georgia Biomedical Partnership, the Metro Atlanta and the Georgia
Chambers of Commerce, and the Board of Trustees for the Georgia Fund for Technical and Adult
Education. She was a recognized national and local speaker and mentor to many industry
professionals. She was an active member of the Worldwide Employee Relocation Council, a
multiple recipient of the WERC Meritorious Service Award and three time recipient of the
Distinguished Service Award. In 1997, she received the prestigious WERC President's Award. In
1999, she was honoree of International Who's Who of Professional and Business Women. She
was a founding member and past president of the regional WERC group, the Metro Atlanta
Relocation Council. In 2003, she was appointed by Governor Sonny Perdue to the Georgia Board
of Commissions of the Commission on Equal Opportunity. She was honored with Lifetime
Memberships in the Georgia Economic Developers Association, the Relocation Directors
Council and the Metro Atlanta Relocation Council. She also served on the Board of Trustees of
Oglethorpe University. Barbara truly loved life, music, dancing, movies, family and many, many
cherished friends. She loved travel and adventure and was still driving one of a series of sporty
red convertibles around town. She was, at all times, "sittin' on G, waitin' on O" and a day did not
go by that she did not remind us all, in a MOST positive way, that "Nobody's going to rain on my
parade!". She lived life to the fullest and all who shared this path with her recognized how
unselfish and caring she was and how she made you feel truly special. Barbara is survived by her
brother, Charles (Buddy) T. Harrell, Jr. and his dear wife Pat, special, beloved nieces and their
families; Cynthia Huston- husband Dallas, sons Ben and Jake & Cathy Reed- husband Mark,
daughters Maegan and Maryanna. The pride and passion of her life were her two sons and their
families; Cuyler McMillan Gunn, Jr. and his son Colin, Charlie Harrell Gunn and wife Anne,
children Cameron and Carter. In lieu of flowers you may send donations to Atlanta Community
Food Bank, Piedmont Healthcare Foundation: Sixty Plus Older Adult Services or the Dunwoody
Rotary Club Foundation. We are following Barbara's specific plans and will have a celebration of
her life with her friends and family before the end of this year. Send email to

Barbara Ann Harrell Gunn
died after a brief illness on November 12, 2015. Barbara was born December 20, 1930 in
Montgomery, AL to Lula and Charles T. Harrell. The family moved to Atlanta when Barbara was
so young that she always considered herself a "native" Atlantan. She attended E. Rivers
Elementary and North Fulton High. The highlight of her HS senior year was her selection as the
Sweetheart of Sigma Chi Emory University Chapter. She attended Shorter College, Baylor
University and graduated from Oglethorpe University. A homemaker and educator, she was
active with the youth of Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church until the business world opened
up new opportunities in which she thrived. With Harry Norman, Realtors, she started as a
receptionist ("but don't ask me to type") then moved to Relocation Services ultimately rising to
Vice President of Relocation Services, where she successfully "sold" Atlanta to many major
corporate clients. Harry Norman, Jr. personally encouraged her to expand her involvement in the
economic development of Atlanta and Georgia and she proceeded to have, in her words, "thirty
amazing and wonderful years" with the company. She began her career in relocation when this
specialty was in its infancy and when she retired she was known as the "Grandmother of
Relocation". In more recent years friends have laid the blame of Atlanta traffic snarls squarely on
her successful relocation shoulders!! During her remarkable career, she was involved in many
organizations and received awards and honors. She was an active member of the Atlanta Board
of Realtors, the Georgia Economic Development Association, the Atlanta Community Housing
Research Board, the Georgia Biomedical Partnership, the Metro Atlanta and the Georgia
Chambers of Commerce, and the Board of Trustees for the Georgia Fund for Technical and Adult
Education. She was a recognized national and local speaker and mentor to many industry
professionals. She was an active member of the Worldwide Employee Relocation Council, a
multiple recipient of the WERC Meritorious Service Award and three time recipient of the
Distinguished Service Award. In 1997, she received the prestigious WERC President's Award. In
1999, she was honoree of International Who's Who of Professional and Business Women. She
was a founding member and past president of the regional WERC group, the Metro Atlanta
Relocation Council. In 2003, she was appointed by Governor Sonny Perdue to the Georgia Board
of Commissions of the Commission on Equal Opportunity. She was honored with Lifetime
Memberships in the Georgia Economic Developers Association, the Relocation Directors
Council and the Metro Atlanta Relocation Council. She also served on the Board of Trustees of
Oglethorpe University. Barbara truly loved life, music, dancing, movies, family and many, many
cherished friends. She loved travel and adventure and was still driving one of a series of sporty
red convertibles around town. She was, at all times, "sittin' on G, waitin' on O" and a day did not
go by that she did not remind us all, in a MOST positive way, that "Nobody's going to rain on my
parade!". She lived life to the fullest and all who shared this path with her recognized how
unselfish and caring she was and how she made you feel truly special. Barbara is survived by her
brother, Charles (Buddy) T. Harrell, Jr. and his dear wife Pat, special, beloved nieces and their
families; Cynthia Huston- husband Dallas, sons Ben and Jake & Cathy Reed- husband Mark,
daughters Maegan and Maryanna. The pride and passion of her life were her two sons and their
families; Cuyler McMillan Gunn, Jr. and his son Colin, Charlie Harrell Gunn and wife Anne,
children Cameron and Carter. In lieu of flowers you may send donations to Atlanta Community
Food Bank, Piedmont Healthcare Foundation: Sixty Plus Older Adult Services or the Dunwoody
Rotary Club Foundation. We are following Barbara's specific plans and will have a celebration of
her life with her friends and family before the end of this year. Send email to

Bea Gunn
Lydia "Bea" Gunn, 84, of Paso Robles, passed away on January 5, 2016. She was born May
1931 in Panama City, Panama, to Basilia and Ramon Reyes of Puerto Rico. Raised during the
depression in a family of eight children, Bea thrived under the instruction of caring teachers in
the U.S. controlled portion of Panama known as the Canal Zone. Facing prejudicial odds based
on her Puerto Rican heritage and the family's financial status, she was able to help support her
family while completing her education. In 1955, she married her husband of 60 years, Kenneth,
and relocated to the United States. Bea's dream of becoming a Physical Education Teacher took a
back seat to raising her four children, Terri, Lorri, Michael, and Sheila. After working as a
secretary for several private employers, she finished up her career as an Executive Secretary with
the California Youth Authority, an assignment which spanned nearly 25 years. To satisfy her
need to be involved in the sports field, she became an institution as a softball coach starting with
nearly twenty years in the Paso Robles Recreational league. Beginning in 1985, she partially
fulfilled her dreams when she became a high school softball coach. She loved her "girls" and
never forgot their impact on her life. She was a devoted Bearcat Booster, selling 50/50 tickets at
football games for over 30 years. Upon her retirement from the Youth Authority, she volunteered
at Twin Cities Hospital. Bea was a dedicated, tireless, and loving family member, friend, coach,
mentor, booster, volunteer and co-worker. Bea is preceded in death by her parents; her infant son,
David; her brothers: Ramon, Victor, Rafael, Tomas and sister, Dolores. She is survived by her
immediate family and her sisters, Judith Van Horn and Nira Johnson, as well as six
grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and numerous loving nieces and nephews. A Celebration
of Life is scheduled for Sunday, January 17, 2016, at 2:00pm at the Paso Robles High School

Charles Robert Gunn
Asheville - Charles R. "Bob" Gunn, a resident of Givens Estates in Asheville, North Carolina,
died September 26, 2015 at the age of 88. Bob, who was a botanist with a lifelong specialty in
seed identification, was born in Columbus, Ohio, graduated from Iowa State College and was
hired by a seed company in Louisville, Kentucky, and met his future wife, Betty. Later, the
couple and their two small children moved back to Iowa where he worked his way through the
renamed Iowa State University and received a Ph.D. In 1965, he was hired by the United States
Department of Agriculture to be the director of what is now known as the U.S. National Seed
Herbarium. From 1965 through his retirement in 1992, he led the growth of the herbarium, which
is considered the world's largest taxonomic seed collections with more than 100,000 samples,
many of which he collected. While director, he gained national publicity after spotting jewelry
made with poisonous seeds -- Abrus precatorius - for sale at a major department store chain,
which led to recalls and changes in federal policies. And, he and a coworker published the first
paper documenting the use of a computer for automated seed identification. He also identified
seeds for forensic analysis, and even contributed to the design of a postage stamp. Bob published
about 150 papers and books, including a multi-volume series of seeds and fruits of 375 legume
genera. In this study, he discovered new genus of African legume. He was honored by his
colleagues, who named the genus Bobgunnia. His hobby also involved seeds: collecting and
writing about tropical seeds and fruits carried by ocean currents to temperate beaches. He
co-wrote a book on the topic. In the early 1990s, he and his wife retired from their home in
Maryland, to Brevard, N.C., and ten years ago moved to Givens Estates. He enjoyed the
Sunday-evening bridge group. Bob was active in his children's lives and was proud of his
children and grandchildren. He especially enjoyed family visits in recent years. He is survived by
his wife of 61 years, Betty, of Givens Estates; daughter Laura Leff (Adam) of Hudson, Ohio; son
Steve (Jean Harris) of Norfolk, Va., and four grandchildren: Kathryn Gunn of Evanston, Ill.;
Alexander Gunn of Carrboro, N.C.; and Benjamin and Amelia Leff, both of Hudson; and cat,

Danny Elwin Gunn
February 14, 1952 - April 30, 2014 Danny Elwin Gunn, fondly called "Gunner," was born
February 14, 1952, in Montpelier, Idaho, and passed away April 30, 2014, in his home in
Bennington, Idaho, surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his wife, DeeAnn Gunn;
five children; Danielle Gunn, Jared Gunn, Tanja Dawn (Ryan) Cornelison, Shawn Keith Gunn,
and Joshua Dee (Anna) Gunn. Danny has 2 grandsons and 4 granddaughters. Danny has an uncle;
Woody (Aleen) Harris, two brothers; Brent (Erin) Kunz and Jody (Juanita) Kunz and one sister;
Cynthia (Rick) Hunter and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his Father; Keith
William Gunn, his Aunt; Arvella Harris, his stepfather; Ivan Ray Kunz, and a sister Cyndia.
Danny was mostly raised by his father, Keith William Gunn, whom he loved very much. Keith
made sure Danny knew how to stand on his own two feet and work and play from dawn to dusk.
Keith was quite a horseman and was able to pass some of his special secrets to Danny. Keith also
taught Danny never to lose a fight, regardless of the time or place. Danny spent some of his
childhood in Dingle, Idaho, where his Uncle Woody taught him more about ranching, putting up
hay, loving the land and running livestock. When he was too young to work outside, his Aunt
Arvella had him pump water and do dishes for the hay crews for a dollar a day. Danny was a
very intelligent, gifted individual. He was one of those special men that could do anything and
everything. He could ride a horse, doctor animals, build fence, shoot any gun like no other, reload
gun shells, and even write poetry. He tried his best to teach his children the things he knew. His
greatest loves were ranching, guns, hunting, horses, camping up Wells Canyon, and reading.
Danny retired from the Monsanto mine located in Soda Springs, Idaho, in 2013. However, his
favorite job was and always will be ranching. He often stated his happiest days were when he
was cowboying. Danny served on the Bear Lake County Ambulance Service as an Advanced
Emergency Medical Technician for over twenty years. He was also a medic for Monsanto. Danny
was well known for his medical talents, knowledge, and abilities. His children discovered it was
better and cheaper to go to him for medical and veterinary needs. Danny's family loved and
respected him. They are proud of the legacy he stood for and passed to them. He, along with his
knowledge and advice, are going to be greatly missed. Prior to his death, he was just a phone call
away for advice and guidance. We, as a family, are already missing that phone. Friends may call
at Schwab-Matthews Mortuary Sunday, May 4, from 6-8 p.m. A morning viewing will be held
Monday, May 5, at the Bennington LDS Church located at 24 E Center Street from 10 to 10:45
a.m. The funeral will follow at 11:00 a.m. Interment will be at the Montpelier Cemetery. Danny Harold Gunn

given us such awareness no one expected. He is missed much by his wife Orphia, family and
friends! His love was for a donation to send a balloon to heaven and remember him, his wife and
our family! Remember what he has done for our country serving as a veteran during our war
time, not an easy task, as we see as of this day now at war. As he has wrote and saved each note.

player, and a producer. Over the years he belonged to several local bands including The Proof,
Movable Feast, Me and the Boys, Mercury Zenith and most recently No Good Deed. He played

those he loved and cared for most. He was known for his kindness, intelligence, and his amazing
sense of humor. His absence will be keenly felt by those whose lives he so enriched. Dennis is

Don was born on the family farm near Scotland, South Dakota, on July 7th, 1933 to Frank and
Emma (Grosz) Gunn. He was the youngest of four brothers and five sisters. Don graduated from
Scotland High School in 1950 and worked with his father and brothers on the farm until enlisting
in the United States Air Force in 1952. He served as a ground to air radio operator and instructor
from 1952 until his discharge in 1956. Upon returning to Scotland, Don once again worked on
the family farm until a seriously broken arm sidelined him for over a year. Don decided to try
something different and since he always enjoyed cooking for others, he bought the Scotland Café
in 1957 and ran that business until 1972. He stayed active cooking for others throughout his
lifetime, often catering for groups and celebrations. Don worked as a meat cutter and butcher
before becoming a route driver for Meadow Gold Dairy, which took him to Columbus, Nebraska
for a few years. While in Columbus, he started driving a route delivery truck for Kitty Clover
Potato Chips, a position that he would hold for eighteen years. In 1992 Don retired due to health
issues. Don’s driving job gave him the opportunity to transfer back to South Dakota in 1975, so
he bought an acreage near Tabor where he raised sheep, pigs, horses, chickens, ducks, geese,
pheasants, guineas and rabbits. After selling the “farm” in 1986, he returned to Scotland and
continued to raise a few animals in his back yard. Although Don could not read music, he was a
very good organist and played during the Scottie Stampede Rodeo performances for many years.
He occasionally played the organ and the accordion for a few polka bands while living around
Tabor. Don was a lifelong outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He began pheasant
hunting with several hunters from Canada and Missouri in the late 1950’s that became a yearly
tradition that still happens each fall in Scotland and has involved hunters from Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Texas and Alaska, as well as Canada. He also loved deer hunting and
fishing on the James River and Lake Henry. Don was one of the founders and a lifelong member
of the Scotland Rodeo Club and play to organ at the performances for many years. He was also a
Shriner, a member of the Scotland Saddle Club and the VFW. Don married Rita Barrett in 1959.
They divorced in 1962. Don married Dawn Kruse in 1963 and they had one son, Jim. They
divorced in 1986. Don is survived by his son Jim and wife Carrie of Council Bluffs, Iowa, three
granddaughters, Alicia Ware and husband Dwight of San Francisco, California, Laura Fenner of
Omaha, Nebraska and Brooke Gunn of Council Bluffs. One sister, Violet of Daytona Beach,

Dorothy Bowker Gunn,
94 years old, passed away on March 3, 2015, 7 days after her husband, James Willard Gunn. A
Celebration of Life & Love will be held for them at 11:00, Friday, March 6th at Swan Law
Funeral Directors in Colorado Springs. Being married for 73 years, Dorothy & Jim spent most of
their life together. Now, it seems only fitting to celebrate their entry into heaven in a dual
ceremony. Born in Junction City, Kansas, and raised in Ponca City, Oklahoma, Dorothy was
part of the "Greatest Generation." Growing up with her brothers--Jack, Freddie, Poncho and her
sister, Joan, they shared many fun memories and laughed a lot. She attended Oklahoma State
University for a time until she eloped to marry Jim in a $10 wedding. She never returned to
school which infuriated her dad. Dorothy was a loving mother of four boys-Pete, Randy, Steve
and Doug as well as two daughters-in-law-Rhonda & Sheryl. She was also proud of her 8
grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. Dorothy was a stay-at-home mom until the boys were
old enough to know better. She worked as a secretary for the Ford County Extension Office in
Dodge City, later moving to Hutchison, Kansas, where she worked for Wesley Towers. One day
she came home from work and found a "For Sale" sign in the front yard. A subtle way, I guess,
for her husband to tell her that they were retiring and moving to Colorado. That was nearly 30
years ago. They have made many friends, both young and old, and loved telling the stories of the
"Greatest Generation" to all who entered their door. The word 'positive' was made for Dorothy.
She never complained and did not appreciate anyone else complaining either. If you did, she
would say, "What a beautiful day; let's go outside and enjoy the sunshine;" even if it was raining.
A reception will follow the service at Holiday Village Mobile Home Park clubhouse. Dorothy Gunn Acoff
BENTON HARBOR, MI - On Nov. 5, 1936, in St. Louis, Mo., a beautiful bundle of joy, August
26, 2014 Gunn, was born to George Gunn and Mary Ann Briggs, the sixth of 10 children. She

with the rest of her family. She attended the St. Louis Public Schools all of her school years. She
worked many years as a nursing assistant at Clairmont Nursing Home and as a home care
provider in St. Louis. She was preceded in death by her parents, five brothers and two sisters.
She leaves to cherish precious memories in the hearts of her brother, George Gunn Jr.; a sister,
Ora Lee Wiggins; special nieces and nephews - Rossetta Gunn of St. Louis; Sharon Wiggins,
Shelia Partee, JC Scott and Eric Wiggins, all of Benton Harbor, Harold (Roshonda) Wiggins of

Dorothy Taylor Gunn
Dorothy A. (Taylor) Gunn, 82, went home to be with the Lord on September 27, 2014 with her
husband, Joe D. Gunn, of 63 years by her side. Dorothy was born in Houston, Texas to Pete and
Selma (Boeker) Taylor. She was an athlete and tomboy in her early years and was an avid tennis
player while attending San Jacinto High School. She and her doubles partner even went on to win
the Girls State title for doubles in 1949-1950. That was an accomplishment of which she was
very proud. What many people didn't know is that she was able to achieve that feat with limited
use of her left arm after she had suffered from Infantile Paralysis when she was a toddler. While
attending high school she met her sweetheart, Joe, and they were married on May 2, 1951 while
he was on leave from the Korean War. They resided in Houston for many years before moving to
Madisonville, Texas where they raised their own four children along with numerous others when
they operated "My Youth Ranch." Dorothy was the full-time chief, cook and bottle washer while
Joe continued working and commuting to Houston. She was lovingly referred to as Grandma by
many of the kids long before she was old enough to even think of being a Grandmother. Besides
taking care of Joe, the kids and the animals Dorothy's heart was so giving that she took on many
other roles such as organizing an MDA walkathon and serving as the Madison County
Democratic Chairperson. Once the kids were all grown she once again took on the title role when
they owned and operated a Dry Cleaners and Laundromat in Madisonville before Joe's work took
him to Austin, TX. While residing in Austin Dorothy worked as a real estate agent before she
later went to work for the State of Texas. She was employed by the Texas General Land Office
and then eventually moved to the Texas Comptrollers office where she finally retired to enjoy
taking care of her family full-time once again. She and Joe moved to Creedmoor, Texas after
Joe's retirement where she enjoyed living the country life, taking care of her Mother, spending
time with her family and volunteering for the Buda United Methodist Church Food Pantry for a
number of years. In her true fashion, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer she faced her
illness head on and with no hesitation had a full mastectomy so she could be cancer free. She was
very proud of being a breast cancer survivor. The most important things to Dorothy were her
faith, family, friends and doing anything she could to help anyone. She had a smile that could
warm anyone's heart as it did many times for the years we were blessed to have her with us. She
was the best cheerleader for her husband, her children, her grandchildren or anyone else whom
she felt needed love, support and encouragement. Her love, kindness and caring will be missed
by so many. Dorothy is survived by her husband Joe; sons Jay and wife Corie of Buda, Tx. and
David and wife Ruth of Kyle, Tx.; "almost" sons Michael (Bones) Kronwinkler of Manvel, Tx.
and David Straughan and wife Cynthia of Cypress Tx; daughter, Belinda (Happy) Rogers and
husband Will of Creedmoor, Tx; grandchildren, Chelsea Gunn Welch and husband Gerald, Joe
Taylor Gunn, Mackenzie Gunn and Amber Gunn; "almost grandchildren" Jason Straughan and
wife Chrystina, Kimberly Straughan, Mike Kronwinkler and Mitchell Kronwinkler; and great
grandchildren, Cannon and Leah Welch. She is also survived by many other family members and

High School in 1949, Dorothy attended Northampton Commercial College, taking a job at Mount
Holyoke College upon completing her studies, and later in the Veterinary Sciences Department at
the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. After her children were born, she was a homemaker
until her youngest child began school, and then began a long career at the University of
Massachusetts, Amherst, working first in the Psychology Department and for many years in

dream of earning bachelor's and master's degrees in English. As a girl and young woman,

compassion of her rural, family farm upbringing throughout her life. She enjoyed music, playing
the piano, and was a drummer in the high school band. Dorothy was a frequent contributor to
Local Color, a periodical dedicated to publishing the stories of Western Massachusetts seniors
about ""life as they remember it,"" often submitting descriptive and humorous stories from her
youth. An avid reader of novels and poetry, particularly Emily Dickinson, Dorothy was an
accomplished needlepoint hobbyist, and spent many hours crafting beautiful quilts with her
quilting group friends. A person of unshakeable faith, she was a longtime congregant of St.
James Episcopal Church, where she served as an usher, volunteered for the Second Helpings
meal program, and in 2010 received the church's highest honor, the St. James Silver Cross for
exemplary service and leadership. She was married to Henry L. Hmieleski on July 2, 1955. He

hardships incident to early pioneer life. Indians were plentiful, crops were not always good and
the real trials of Pioneer life confronted these young folks constantly. Two children were born to
this union, William G. Hillbrant of Iola, and Charles deceased. In 1862 the husband and father
died and left the young widow with two children in a frontier community in rather difficult
circumstances. Shortly after the death of her husband Mrs. Hillbrant returned to Missouri, and
later married Lewis Dennison, she returned to Kansas in 1867. To this union were born 2
children, Thomas Dennison of Iola, and Mrs. Lillian Russ, Pittsburg, Kansas. On October 3,

three children, Guy Pees of Iola, Elmer, deceased, and Mrs. Lacy Morell of Iola. The supreme

well as through more favorable circumstances to those who had been committed to her care, with
her she attended the Christian church quite regularly , and the influence of her devotion manifest
today in the lives of her children. Mrs. Pees was confined to her home for sometime, but was not

Elizabeth (Libby) Gunn,
passed away peacefully in her sleep at home on June 29, 2011, at the age of 90. Elizabeth was
born in Little Rock, Arkansas, on May 11, 1921 to Longus Veron Hinson Sr. and Nettia
Catherine Elkins Hinson. She was one of fourteen brothers and sisters. Libby grew up on the
family farm in the home that her father built for them. She always had interesting and fun stories
of her experiences with her brothers and sisters while living there. Libby attended schools in the
Little Rock area until she had to go to work to help support the family. Libby was a natural
seamstress and often made and repaired clothes for her brothers and sisters. As a young lady, her
talents as a seamstress caught the eye of a business woman in Little Rock and Libby was asked if
she would like a job. The job was working for Jumps Cleaners in downtown Little Rock. While
working there she learned from Mrs. Jump how to make alterations on everything from furs to
soldierís uniforms. One day, a young soldier named Marian brought his laundry in and Libby
caught his eye. Marian and Libby were married on July 19, 1942. Marian and Libby lived in
various locations until the end of World War II. After Marian was discharged from the Army, he
and Libby headed westward. Along the way, Libby worked for Beech Aircraft in Witchita,
Kansas. While there, she traded her fountain pens in for diaper pins as she and Marian adopted a
little baby girl named Nita. Next, Marian and Libby adopted a baby boy named Chris and
continued westward finally settling in Washington State where they lived in the towns of Pasco,
Olympia, Yakima and finally Zillah. While living in Pasco, Chris was diagnosed with Burkittís
Lymphoma and at the age of six lost his battle with leukemia. In 1965, Marian and Libby settled
in Zillah and in 1969 they adopted Ned. Libby was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother,
homemaker and friend. More importantly, Libby was a devoted Christian. To her, Christianity
was not a ìreligionî but a ìrelationship with Jesus Christ.î She loved the Lord and served Him
with all that she had. Throughout the years, she was a devoted Sunday School teacher of all ages,
especially youth and young adults. At Christmas, she would still receive cards from past students
that were in her classes 50 + years earlier! Some people will be in Heaven because of Libbyís
willingness to share about the love of Christ. At the time of her death, Libby was a member of
Zillah First Baptist Church in Zillah, Washington. Libby is survived by her son, Ned Gunn of
Zillah, Washington; her daughter, Nita Young of Union Gap, Washington; three grandchildren,
Chad, Nicholas and April Choate of Yakima, Washington; five great grandchildren; one brother,
Thomas Hinson of Rogers, Arkansas; three sisters, Hilda Haney of Burlington, Kentucky; Louise
Ritter of Pomona, California; Nettia Hale of El Dorado, Arkansas. Libby was preceded in death
by her husband of 52 years, Marian Gunn; one son, Chris Gunn; her parents, eight brothers and
one sister. Libby was a rare and precious jewel. She was a friend to all and always put the needs
of others before her own. She will be greatly missed. Visitation will be 11:00 a.m. Saturday,

Evelyn Dodd Gunn
Our loving mother and “Mimi”, Evelyn Dodd Gunn, entered into the presence of her heavenly
Father on Thursday evening, August 21, 2014. A celebration of Evelyn’s life will be held at 2
p.m., Saturday, August 23 in the chapel of Cottle Funeral Home in Troup with the Rev. Clint
Covington officiating. Interment will follow at Pinecrest Cemetery in Troup under the direction
of Cottle Funeral Home. Following the services, friends and family are invited to gather for a
reception to recount the many wonderful memories that Mimi left behind for all to cherish.
Evelyn was born to A.M. (Minyard) Dodd Sr. and Ruby Cowles Dodd on November 2, 1918 in
Gandy, Louisiana. She was born in the midst of a severe flu epidemic, but she survived that
initial scare to live almost 96 years. Her father was the clerk for a large sawmill company, which
provided the family not only with sufficient income but also with somewhat of an adventurous
lifestyle. Once the timber resources had been depleted in the town of the family’s residence, the
Dodds would pack up and move to another location. Because of this, the family relocated
approximately every two or three years. Whether it was in Texas, Louisiana or Mississippi, the
Dodd house was always filled with love and Evelyn always embraced the new adventures and
made many new friends wherever she resided. In 1935 Evelyn married the love of her life, James
Hardy Gunn, in Avinger, Texas. Evelyn and Hardy moved to Troup in 1938 when Hardy
accepted the position of principal at Troup Elementary School. After several years, Hardy and
Evelyn purchased the Sinclair service station in Troup where they not only cared for the
automotive needs of the town’s citizens, but also became great friends with all who stopped by
for service or just to visit. They loved Troup and Troup loved them! Troup quickly became
“home” to Hardy and Evelyn. Here, they lovingly raised their three children – Jimmy, Anthony
and Rebecca. Evelyn was always involved in the lives of her children and enjoyed every moment
that she spent with them. Not only was she a devoted wife and mother, but she was also a
devoted Christian. Evelyn’s faith in Jesus Christ was reflected in the life that she led. She was a
member of the First Baptist Church in Troup where she taught children’s Sunday school classes
for several years. One of her fondest memories was of a trip that she took to Glorietta, New
Mexico where she spent a week at the Baptist Youth Encampment with several young girls from
her church. Mimi was definitely one-of-a-kind, a rare gem who loved her Savior and loved life.
Her ability to tell stories and make others laugh was incomparable. She was beautiful inside and
out. Her smile is perhaps one of the features that will be remembered most vividly by her loved
ones. It was a smile that prompted Hardy to tell her on numerous occasions, “Come on Honey,
show them that million dollar smile!” After Hardy died in 1980, Evelyn continued to live in
Troup and played an active role in the lives of her children and grandchildren. She insisted on
living independently in her home and did so until the last week of her life, thanks in large part to
her friend and caregiver Debbie Alonzo. Evelyn is preceded in death by her parents, her
husband, her son Jimmy Gunn, her infant son Bobby Eugene Gunn, her brother Col. A.M. Dodd,
Jr., her sisters Carolyn Ezell, Maurine Jackson and Johnnie Harris, her sister-in-law Jane Dodd,
and her brothers-in-law Elzie Ezell and Ray Jackson. She is survived by her daughter Becky
Covington and husband John of Grand Prairie, son Anthony Gunn and wife Ginny of Dickinson,
and daughter-in-law Karlene Gunn of Kilgore. She is also survived by eight grandchildren and 17
great-grandchildren. Pallbearers will be Gregory Gunn, Allen McNickle, Jason Gunn, Casey
Covington, Colin Shadwell, and David Persinger. The family would like to request that
memorials, if desired, be sent to the charity of your choice.

Floyd S. "Ben" Gunn,
80, longtime resident of Fort Worth, passed away peacefully Monday, March 31, 2014,
surrounded by his family and friends. Memorial service: 11 a.m. Friday at Broadway Baptist
Church, the Rev. Brent Beasley and Dr. Jorene Swift officiating. Memorials: In lieu of flowers,
Ben's family requests that donations be made to Broadway Baptist Church, 305 W. Broadway
Ave., Fort Worth, Texas 76104; The James L. West Center, 1111 Summit Ave., Fort Worth,
Texas 76102; or Cook Children's Medical Center, 801 Seventh Ave., Fort Worth, Texas 76104.
Ben was born June 21, 1933, in Longview to Ruth and Willis Gunn. He was the youngest of
three children. Ben acquired his preferred nickname (based on the "Treasure Island" character) at
the Masonic Home of Fort Worth, where he went to live as a young boy following the untimely
death of his father. Ben often spoke with pride about his life at the Masonic Home, often lovingly
referring to himself and fellow attendees as "orphans," or "orphs," for short. Ben played football
on the well-known Masonic Home "Mighty Mites" football team. Upon leaving the Masonic
Home, Ben enrolled at TCU and began his lifelong career in banking as an evening bookkeeper
at Continental National Bank. Ben met his longtime friend and future business partner, Jim
Murray, at this time. After a short stint in the Army toward the end of the Korean War, Ben
returned to Continental Bank and rose through the management ranks to the position of senior
vice president. Along with Jim Murray and a group of investors, Ben formed Summit National
Bank, which opened for business in 1975. The bank grew into a multi-bank holding company
that eventually became Summit Bancshares. Through shrewd business practices, Ben and his
fellow executive management team led the Summit Bank organization through the 1980s'
banking crisis, the worst to hit the Texas banking system since the Great Depression. Summit
Bancshares exited this tumultuous period intact and continued to flourish in the years after Ben's
retirement in 1997. He remained an active board member of Summit Bancshares until its sale to
Frost Bank in 2006. Always a banker and a believer in personal business relationships, Ben
retained an office at the bank where he continued to enjoy occasional visits from former
customers and business associates. Ben was known for his sense of humor and a love of practical
jokes. One year, readers of the Star-Telegram noted with humor a particularly paltry donation
made by Ben in the name of a good friend to the Goodfellow Fund, "in lieu of Christmas cards."
Always a connoisseur of fine dining in the seemingly unlikeliest of places, Ben and a group of
business associates were known to eschew formal business lunches, preferring instead to visit
out-of-the-way "greasy spoon" restaurants. Even though he was fond of such off-beat dining, Ben
pursued a rigorous physical fitness regimen in his later years. He was well known at All Saints
Hospital's Carter Rehabilitation Center for his visits several times a week to vigorously pursue
his cardiovascular workout goals. In his spare time, Ben was an avid crossworder, preferring to
solve the New York Times crossword puzzle in ink. He and his wife loved to travel, and they
enjoyed multiple European trips. Ben had a generous spirit, thrived on human connection and
built a beloved network of friends. Throughout his career, he enjoyed philanthropic efforts
including serving United Way, TCU, Broadway Baptist Church and Baylor All Saints Hospital.
Survivors: His wife of 56 years, Johnnie Bean Gunn; sons, Tim and David; daughter-in-law,
Kelly Soter-Gunn; grandchildren, Helen and Benjamin Gunn; and several nieces and nephews.

Gail Weaver Gunn
September 19, 1946 - October 17, 2015 - n these past few days our family and friends have been
renewing and strengthening the bonds of life together as we remember, grieve and honor our
loved one, Grandma Gail. Our Mom, Sister and Grandma Gail who cherished and
unconditionally loved us for so many years became the angel in heaven as she was on earth.
We would like to give this journey of cherished memories in recognition of what she has meant
to so many people. She didn't like long goodbyes and would be the first to hold you, love you,
and never judge you. We, too, know she wasn't perfect but she was special to us and we wanted
to let you know a little of the woman you may not have known. To her children she was called
'Mom' for many years, and to so many others she was called friend. As the grandchildren came
along this changed to 'Grandma Gail', and to her extended grandchildren she was 'Aunt
Grandma Gail.' She obsessed with being a grandma insisting her first born had a child before
she was 40. After all, she always wanted to be a young Grandma who could run, jump, play,
swim and roll in the grass with them all. One of her most treasured games was playing
abracadabra, poof you're a princess with her Great-Granddaughter. She was the Mom and
Grandma who would be the quarterback, pitcher, catcher and surf mom, give you medical and
love advice, and give you the shirt off her back. In her last days, she cherished the birthday of
her second born where she spent her time pushing her granddaughter in the pool, playing pool
soccer with another, and simply enjoying all the rest. This was who she was, the loving grandma
of 17 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. The forever loved and never forgotten mother of
4, Carrie, Kellie, Hollie and Arthur; and mom again to so many more. The oldest of seven,
Susie, Wendy, Kurtz, Chuckie, Jean and Jeff, who she cared for not only as a sister, but a
mother too. Grandma Gail would never want you to mourn for her, she would want you to
throw a party on the beach and cherish the memories she created through-out her life.
Remember her with every beautiful sunset and know that she will always be watching over you.
Gone but truly never forgotten. Lake Worth, Florida

George F. Gunn
St. Louis, Mo - Senior U.S. District Judge George F. Gunn Jr., whose gentlemanly demeanor
and courtly manner were hallmarks on the federal bench in St. Louis for more than a decade, has
died of complications from cancer. Surrounded by his family, Judge Gunn died Wednesday
night (May 20, 1998), at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. He was 70 and had been hospitalized for two
weeks. "He went peacefully, with his family encircling his bed," said his son-in-law, J. Bennett
Clark. Judge Gunn, distinguished by his snowy hair, had a ready smile for workers at the
Federal Courthouse downtown. "He was, without a doubt, one of the finest gentlemen I have
ever had the pleasure to know," said Patti Leonard, a courthouse secretary. President Ronald
Reagan appointed Judge Gunn to the federal bench in 1985. By then, Judge Gunn already had
been a state court judge for a dozen years. In 1973, Gov. Christopher "Kit" Bond appointed
Judge Gunn to the Missouri Court of Appeals in St. Louis, where he served for nine years. Judge
Gunn spent three years as a member of the Missouri Supreme Court before Reagan tapped him
for the lifetime job as a federal district judge. As a trial judge, Judge Gunn presided over the
longest criminal trial in U.S. District Court here. After a trial of nearly eight months, a jury in
1993 found members of the Moorish Science Temple guilty in a drug and murder conspiracy.
Security was so tight that federal agents guarded Judge Gunn and prosecutors around the clock.
One of the prosecutors, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Fagan, said Judge Gunn never lost his
cool. "He was as patient and pleasant as any judge could be," Fagan said. "We could use a few
more like him." In 1991, Judge Gunn took over the St. Louis school desegregation case. He was
the fourth judge to oversee the case, filed in 1972. Lawrence Roos, picked by Judge Gunn as an
adviser in the vocational education aspect of the desegregation case, called the judge "a unique
individual." "He was a remarkable combination of a soft-spoken individual, always considerate
of others, and yet he had a passionate and strong dedication to the fundamental principles upon
which our justice system is based," said Roos. As St. Louis County executive, Roos named
Judge Gunn as county counselor in 1971. Senior U.S. District Judge Edward L. Filippine said
Judge Gunn "had an outstanding legal mind as well as a wonderful judicial temperament."
"George was a great family man and had a genuine compassion for people," Filippine added.
"To know him was to love and respect him. He will be missed and not forgotten." Judge Gunn
was born Oct. 29, 1927, in Fort Smith, Ark. His father was an oil company executive. The
family moved to Illinois, then to St. Louis, where Judge Gunn graduated from Clayton High
School. He served as a Navy seaman near the end and just after World War II. He earned his
undergraduate degree at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., and his law degree in 1955 from
Washington University. In 1992, Washington U. gave him the law school's Distinguished
Alumni Award. Judge Gunn began his career with the law firm of Rebman, LaTourette &
Gunn. He also served as Brentwood city attorney and worked as a lawyer for the Wabash
Railroad and the Terminal Railroad Association. Away from work, Judge Gunn studied the
Civil War. He had been president of the Civil War Roundtable of St. Louis. He also was steeped
in baseball history, particularly that of the old St. Louis Browns.
Visitation will be from 1 to 8 p.m. today at Pfitzinger Funeral Home, 36 6 South Kirkwood
Road in Kirkwood. A memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at Central Presbyterian
Church, 7700 Davis Drive in Clayton. Burial will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Jefferson Barracks
National Cemetery. Among the survivors are his wife, Priscilla Johns Gunn of Brentwood;
three children, Rebecca Clark of Kirkwood, Priscilla F. Gunn of Clayton and C. Andrew Gunn
of Richmond Heights; his sister, Kathleen F. Gunn of Glendale; and four grandchildren.

daughter; especially in music as she continues the family tradition. He loved working with his
hands; be it cooking. where he especially enjoyed carrying on with family recipes or working on
houses or on his cars. From the very beginning, Geoff faced challenges in his path through life.

George H. Gunn,
87, who served with the 143d Aero Service during World War I, died Monday at his home in
Broomall. He was a former resident of the Stonehurst Hills section of Upper Darby. An
engineering graduate of the Drexel Institute of Technology, he was among the first to volunteer
for service in the Army's air division when a training base was opened in 1917 at Essington on
the banks of the Delaware River. The Essington Air Service Group was formed on the spot. Its
assignment was to train pilots for combat. In time, as the number of planes and pilots grew, the
group was reorganized into the 45th and the 143d Aero Squadrons. The 350 men involved in
the group and its squadrons were soon transferred to an expanded facility at Lake Charles, La.
Some took their underpowered biplanes to war. Others simply bit their fingernails and continued
to train would-be pilots, Mr. Gunn recalled. Born in Scotland and reared in this country, he
was a regular at the annual reunions of the Essington Air Service Group. A small man with
glasses that regularly threatened to slide down his hawk-like nose, he calculated last year that he
had missed only "one or two" since the first reunion was held in 1919. He was able to attend the
most recent reunion, held in June. He was the oldest of the dozen members who made it. After
the war, Mr. Gunn had worked at his profession, eventually joining the DuPont Co. as a design
engineer. He retired in 1961. He was a Mason and a member of the United Methodist Church.
Surviving are his daughters, Jean Dunn and Helen Irwin; two grandsons, and two sisters.

Harold Gunn
Boonville, Ind. - The City of Boonville and Warrick County lost a legend and an icon when
Harold Gunn, 75, went to be with his mother and father on Monday, January 27, 2014, at
Transcendent Healthcare in Boonville. Harold often took care of several businesses on the
square in his younger days. He is probably best remembered for blowing the noon whistle at the
Boonville Fire Department until that practice was stopped a few years ago. One of his favorite
pastimes was sitting in the security office in the Judicial Center and making sure everyone
obeyed the rules. If not, he was sure to write you up in his little black book. His favorite greeting
to one and all was always "ain't we buddies." Harold is survived by his half-sister, Ruth
Weathers of Winslow, his brother Charles (Charlotte) of Boonville; nieces, Stacy Tevault (Kirk)
of Lynnville, Shirley Schum and Roseann; nephews Gregory Gunn of California, Kenny, Danny

youngest of 7 children. After completing school and working in Austria for a few years, she
moved to Manchester, England, where she rode her bicycle to work and then delivered milk in

who was serving in the Air Force during World War II. They were soon married in the Church
of England in Manchester on February 3, 1945, and Irma moved to the United States with
George and their son Peter after the end of the war. They lived in Arkansas for a few years
before moving to Walden, Colorado, where they raised their family of five children: Peter,
Mary, Jo, Sharon, and Annette. George and Irma were married for 64 years. Though small in
stature, Irma had a big personality and a warm smile, and she made friends wherever she went.
She loved food and cooking, and always welcomed guests to share in their meal, which included
plenty of down-home food, homemade bread - and always - one of her homemade desserts. Her
favorite German foods were often on the menu. Christmas was not complete without Irma's
famous vanilla kipferl cookies, and she gave a batch to all of her children for many years. She
will be dearly missed by her children and extended family, and her many friends in Walden, Co.,
Fort Collins, Co., Hughes Springs, Tx. and Cove, Ar. She was preceded in death by her
husband, George Gunn, in 2009, son Peter Gunn in 1980, her parents, Moritz and Josephine Sax
Eisinger, and all of her siblings: Jacob, Frieda, Annie, Ida, Ignaz, and Oscar. She is survived by

Dean DeGroot; Grandchildren & spouses: Jerry Gunn, Shannon & Jamie O'Leary, Alan &
Donna Sage, Tanya Hixon, Eric & Sarah Donley, Justin & Jeannie Shook, Felicia & Brian Ball,

Sharon Shook, who moved to Cove to live with and take care of her parents in their later years.

baseball. He remained a loyal fan of all their sports teams for his entire life; he loved them
immensely when they won and supported them whole heartedly when they lost. After college
and during the Korean War, Jack enlisted in the Army and served in the 82nd Airborne,
attaining the rank of 1st Lieutenant. He stayed in the Army Reserves for many years, first in
Charlotte and then in Raleigh, NC. Jack is survived by his wife of 40 years, Bonnie, and his
children whom he adored: son, Steve Gunn and wife Sharon, daughter, Sharon Neece and
husband Robert, and son Bryant Tant and wife Valerie. His grandchildren, Lara Neece and

to promote the industry. Jack was inducted into the Frozen Food Hall of Fame in 2006 for his
lifetime contributions, one of the highest honors bestowed in the Frozen Food Industry. He felt
so blessed to have such incredible employees and colleagues work with him throughout the

his teaching, acting and directing, Jim made his place in the Bay Area comedy scene, where he
was often referred to as "the legendary" Jimmy Gunn. He coached and mentored many young
comics over the 20 years he performed comedy, despite his many "retirements." Comedians will
remember him as a kind and respectful person who gave of his time willingly to help and
support others. As a lover of film, Jim took great joy in being part of the screening committee
for the San Francisco Film Festival throughout the last several decades. Jim is survived by his

Jessie Mea Gunn
Our wonderful little Mother, Jessie Mae Gunn, died September 20, 2015 Sunday mourning after
a very peaceful day with her arms folded across her chest in prayer. Occasionally she would
open her eyes very widely and I know she was seeing something marvelous. She was born in
Syracuse, KS, March 7, 1916 and has survived all her immediate family at 99 ½. Those of us
who are left to miss her are Joel Gunn and Belinda of Graham, NC, Sylvia Marie and her three
“Texas” girls; Emrys, Mauve and Sloane, and Riley Gunn and Stellina and their “Aussie” Grace
and Ari; Janet Gunn and Rex Winters of Wheat Ridge, CO; Raymond Gunn (greeted Mom in
her passing) and Cindy of St Joe, Ks, Levi and Amber and Ilsa Grace in Golden, CO; and Sylvia
Gunn Mierau and Tim of Monroe, WA, Isaac Mierau, Eri and Mizuki of Bothell, WA and Elena
Gunn Mierau and Bo Yount of Spokane, WA. Mom loved music her whole life. Her mother, Ida
May Singer, bought her a piano when she was 5 years old and she practiced on that same piano
well in to her 80’s and 90’s. Her love of music included her participation in the Lawrence Music
Club where she was an active member and where she also performed. She lived most of her life
in Syracuse with a few side trips with our Father, Joel Riley Gunn, during World War II and
following his seismograph crew. As a single mother, she raised four kids in the 1950’s; first
working two jobs at Penny’s and the hospital and then being elected as County Clerk for 12
years. She attended Goodland Technical School and studied computers. She loved her email.
For several years she worked in Garden City, KS at Fansler Tires and then moved near Wichita
to spend two years helping our brother, Raymond Gunn, who left us in 2010, with his business.
Her brother, Kermit Singer, asked her to come back to Syracuse to help with the farming and
she retired in Syracuse to spend the next 30 years. In 2007, she agreed to move to Denver to live
with Janet and Rex who allowed for her fierce independence and yet she was willing to ask for
help where she needed it and graciously accepted it. She did all her own cooking, bathing,
washed and cut her own hair and was mental backup for Janet until the last few months. We can
tell you story after story of her love and devotion to us and our upbringing in a loving, caring,
nurturing family. She loved to cook for us and there was always fried chicken and an angel food
cake when we came home. We thank you Mom, for all our onederful lives. You have always
been a grounding rock and inspiration to all of us. To all her friends, I can tell you that she loved
you all dearly and spoke of each of you often. She had so much fun on the “big bus” trips with
Ann and the Community Concerts. We were so bless to have Omar take over the farm and his
visits. When we came to Syracuse, the visits from Becky, Inez, Sammy and the Niles family
were priceless. Much gratitude to David Stimatze and Marlene and Lynn Ashmore for taking
care of the place all these years and all of you who have watched over it. Also to Don Post for
all your help as we weekend warriored! In Denver, Janet’s Bunco group took Mom in with such
love and caring. It was the highlight of her month plus Mile Hi Church once a week. I’m so
sorry, if in my stupor, I have left anyone out, but you know who you are;-) All of you, young and
old, were precious to her and are to us.

Jo Ann Gunn
Jo Ann was born July 21, 1940 in Freer, TX to Edna & Emil Hackbarth, just before her dad
went to Germany during his tour of World War II. 8 years later Edna & Emil gave birth to Jo
Ann's sister Arlene. They both suffered the loss of their father only 2 years later after he
contracted a rare skin disease from Auschwitz concentration camp. Jo Ann and her sister often
remembered how hard it was growing up as a German descendent after the war and both
struggled in school being poor and unable to speak good English. They would often tell stories
of living in Gruene, Tx when living in Gruene wasn't cool. When Jo Ann was a teenager, she
would start the dance off every Saturday night at Gruene Hall. Her mother would often tell Jo
Ann to take her little sister a long and while Jo Ann would catch the eye of a few young fly boys
out of Randolph Air Force Base Arlene would nap under a table. In 1956 Jo Ann married
Danny Eugene Farrow, out of Randolph Air Force Base, and they quickly left home for England
where they would continue their life there for a total of 6 yrs before returning home. Jo Ann
would there work for the NCO as a waitress. During Danny's second tour of duty in England
they were very eager to adopt a baby boy born January 29th, 1967 in Ipswich. Six months
passed quickly and Ronald Eugene Farrow left England with his new parents for his new home
in Texas. The family would finally make New Braunfels their home. The small community of
Barbarossa would become alive again when Jo Ann & Danny opened up a local beer joint called
the Barbarossa Trough with the help of her sister and husband. Several years would pass as they
became active in the small farming community. In December 1984 Jo Ann & Arlene lost their
mother to cancer. A short time later Jo Ann would be diagnosed with breast cancer. In 1985 Jo
Ann divorced Danny and her life would be changed forever after suffering the tragic loss of her
son in a car crash the same year. An event that Jo Ann would never recover from. After
experiencing several losses & sadness Jo Ann would find her anchor and future husband when
her sister introduced her to Larry Phil Gunn at a local dance hall in town. They dated as he
nurtured her and they fell in love to be wed later that year in 1985. They have been inseparable
ever since as they would continue to love each other, trust each other and cherish each other as
they grew old together. They lived in New Braunfels most of their lives together but there were
brief times spent in Salado, Tx, Harker Heights, Tx & San Angelo, Tx. They sold the
"Barbarossa Trough" business, and went into the "Texas Postal" mailing service in New
Braunfels for twelve years. Afterwards Larry would become a truck driver for a couple of
national companies and as Jo Ann as his "co-pilot" the two would travel across the United
States.
The two eventually retired and during the next several years as Jo Ann's health declined Larry
never left her side. She battled Bone Cancer & Leukemia and fought courageously till the end.
Larry was her prince and she refused to leave him. He was by her side at Sundance Nursing
Facility as she took her last breaths. From her sister... I truly believe she gave her life to Christ
April 19, 2015. She always believed in God, but never knew how to ask him into her life. My
Sister & I prayed together and we both ask Jesus Christ to be her Lord & Savior. It was a cryful
event for both of us, and I am so glad I was part of it. My sister was very quiet, usually. But get
her started on politics and family values, she would raise quite an opinion. To read was my
sisters favorite pass time. Her favorite Hobby was to read the paper front to back. Because of
that she became a current event intellectual. If you needed to know something about the news,
you ask my sister. She has quite the library of books containing espionage, CIA, love, travel and
crime type thrillers with a strong female lead. She loved to tell stories of other countries and
places she had traveled, including Alaska & England, lived and read about. Her and Larry loved
feeding the birds with their birdhouses and watching them from the kitchen windows. Jo Ann
always had a furry companion. She loved cats especially. We will miss her constant hospitality
and good cooking. JoAnn loved entertaining family & friends. There was always room for one
more at the table no matter when. She always entered a room with elegant grace regardless of
how bad her health had taken a toll on her life and she never left the house without her make-up
and earrings on. JoAnn was our in house green thumb Goo Roo. She loved plants and
gardening. When she was in good health she spent hours of daylight working in the yard tending
to her flowers abound and she use to help her Mom raising a 1/2 acre garden and canning
vegetables. She is proceeded in death by her son, Ronald Eugene Farrow; her mother, Edna L.
Hackbarth Zimmerman; her step father, Henry P. Zimmerman; her father, Emil O. Hackbarth.
She leaves her husband of 29 years Larry P. Gunn; her sister Arlene Cantu & brother in law Jose
E Cantu Jr; her Goddaughter & niece Deborah Lynn Lehmann; her great niece, Amber Lynn
Lehmann and great nephew, Andrew Eugene Lehmann. In San Angelo,Tx she leaves a loving
niece, Margo DeloSantos and a nephew and wife Tommy & Debbie Love. As well as an array of
family & friends in different corners of the globe. A visitation will be held for Jo Ann Gunn on

strength of character, fitting of a Marine. He will forever be in our hearts. John was born and raised
in Chicago, IL and graduated from Morgan Park High School. He received a bachelor's degree in
journalism from Monmouth College in Illinois. He was a 40-year career newspaperman, with 26

hours later. Through the years, he interviewed politicians, sports legends, celebrities, and military
heroes. A retired Marine Corps Reserve colonel, he served two years on active duty at Quantico,
VA, Cherry Point (where he met his wife Joan), and New River, NC. He spent 28 years in the

Breeze Development Review Board. He was a tireless American Red Cross volunteer, working
around the clock during numerous hurricanes. He was the local chapter's Volunteer of the Year in

door greeting members on many Sundays. John combined his love of sports and the Marine Corps
by authoring two books on Marine Corps football. Over decades, John collected and saved
professional, college, and military sporting news. His collection primarily focused on memorabilia
from college and professional football and basketball, and also military football game-day programs
from the WWII era. His collection, one of the largest sports collections in the country, was donated

Kevin Eldred Gunn
Beloved Brother, Fun-loving Uncle, Friend and "Our Hero" HOYTSVILLE, Utah - On June 30,
2013, after a courageous battle with Cancer, Kevin E. Gunn was called to his home in heaven to be
greeted by his Heavenly Father and loved ones. Kevin left this earthly life surrounded by family.
Kevin E. Gunn was born on February 17, 1958, in East Chicago, Indiana, to his parents, H. LaMarr
and Winona Gunn. Kevin had many experiences throughout his life for service and sharing his
talents. Kevin loved life and the challenges and joys that it brought to him. He cared about and loved
others and love was given in return. Kevin dedicated his time, energy and effort to making others
happy, not thinking of himself. He loved watching and participating in sports, such as basketball in
high school, church basketball and umpiring softball games for the city of Coalville. As the umpire,
he gained respect from his peers and others, as Kevin was stalwart in his decisions of the game. He
enjoyed the excitement of the game and the people involved. The outdoors was another enjoyment
where Kevin would bask in God's creations on the mountains hunting or relaxing. He loved life and
what it meant for him. He loved working with his hands with leather, woodworking and technology.
He shared his talent with others. Kevin worked at many different jobs. Some of those jobs included
construction, sheetrock worker, retail, computer operator and Smith's department manager. He was
respected and admired by many. He liked these times for sharing, playing or just goofing off. Kevin
gave of himself freely to make others happy and expected nothing in return. This experience started
in 1976, when he graduated from high school and his Grandmother Gunn asked him to come to Utah
from California and live with her, due to the recent passing of Grandfather Gunn. He made many
sacrifices for others but still was able to enjoy life and make vacation trips to California and other
sites. He was preceded in death by his parents; older brother, Christian H. Gunn (Covina, Calif.); his
brothers Theras Gunn and his wife, Carol (Lehi, Utah), Craig Gunn and his wife, Audrie (Pocatello,
Idaho), and Trent Gunn and his wife, Yvette (Brigham City, Utah); loving sister Marlys Stevens
(Hoytsville, Utah); and sister-in-law Barbara Gunn (Covina, Calif.). The funeral services will be
held on Saturday, July 6, at 11:00 a.m. at the Hoytsville LDS Church in Hoytsville, Utah. The
viewing will be Friday, July 5, from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 pm. and one hour prior to the services on
Saturday. Burial will be at the Hoytsville Cemetery under the direction of Walker Mortuary. The
family wishes to give a big thank you to the Applegate Hospice Caregivers for their loving care for

beautiful earth passwed peacefully to a higher sphere. In compliance with the request of the depart
Mrs. H. F. M. Brown of Cleveland was expected to deliver the funeral discourses on Sunday January

multiple generations, and they loved her. Lillie shared her passion for safe-guarding school children
with her family and three generations have followed in her footsteps. Lillie also worked the annual
fair in Pleasanton for 27 years. Lillie loved to paint flowers and to plant and nurture them also. Lillie
loved nurturing all living things, from her family, to her plants, to her birds, and her sweet
companion, her beautiful auburn-haired dog, ‘Pretty Baby’ that she was often seen walking our
community with. Many folks in her neighborhood simply knew her as the sweet gray-haired lady that
loved to walk her dog. Lillie also enjoyed crocheting and knitting, and gifting little kitchen towels
with a buttoned hanger for the kitchen. She was a member of our local Red Hats and thoroughly
enjoyed the ladies, their get-togethers for lunch and other activities, and especially enjoyed their trips
together. Another group Lillie enjoyed was her “game day” friends that met weekly at one another’s
homes for an afternoon of games and snacks. She looked forward to these weekly fun days. Lillie
enjoyed life and people and for this reason was a joyful volunteer at our Willits Senior Center for
many, many years until her health made it impossible to continue, and had also volunteered at the
Willits Food Bank for years.
Lillie was preceded in death by her husband, Matthew ‘Red’ Gunn; her daughter, Elizabeth Wilhite;
and her sister, Lucille Dunn. She is survived by her daughter, Cynthia Goines; grandchildren: Daniel
Wilhite, Matthew Goines, and Gevene ‘Angel’ Duncan; great –grandchildren: Amanda Duncan,
Haili and Kristin Wilhite, and Samantha and Grace Goines; and several beloved great-great
grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, November 21, 2015 at the

Celebration of her life will be shared at the Grace Community Church in Willits. Arrangements

Margaret Frances (Pegi) Gunn,
90, passed away Aug. 3, 2013, at home in Pullman. Idaho. A memorial gathering for family and

early to enlist in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Pegi served at a recruiting station in her
hometown of Chicago, where she and her friends spent their time off going to Chicago White Sox

Margaret M. Gunn,
Muskegon, Chronicle - age 73, went to be with her Lord on Friday, November 29, 2002, following a
short illness. She was born June 11, 1929 to David and Bessie Herbert, and lived her entire life in the
West Michigan area. Margaret came from humble beginnings. Her family was broken up by
unfortunate circumstances when she was very young, and she spent most of her youth in a series of
foster homes, sometimes doing odd jobs in exchange for room and board. But instead of allowing the
experience to make her bitter, she learned to understand other people and the difficulties and
handicaps they faced. She took those wonderful qualities into her marriage to Gordon Gunn in 1950.
She blessed her husband and six children with patience and unconditional love for the rest of her life.
Margaret was a giver who was always more concerned about her family and friends than she was
about herself. She displayed that caring on Dec. 23, 1996, when she went from her husband's funeral
in the afternoon, to a department store at night, so she could finish her Christmas shopping and make
sure everyone had a gift under the tree from Mom. Margaret also shared her kindness with animals,
particularly her cats. She treated her four-legged friends with the same respect she showed people.
Besides her two beloved house cats, she provided a home in her garage to strays who found their way
to her doorstep. They started out wild, but by the time they got a dose of Margaret's tender care, they
were tame, fat and lovable. A kitten that was born to one of her ``garage cats'' became terribly ill one
day, and Margaret sat up overnight nursing the tiny creature back to health, before giving it to one of
her sons as a special gift. All creatures seemed to respond to her gentle touch, instinctively knowing
they were dealing with a tender soul who only wanted to help. Margaret's caring was not reserved for
people she knew. Even as she struggled with her own health in her later years, she volunteered to visit
other seniors who were confined to their homes by physical problems. Margaret also had a spirited
side to her personality. To the end of her life, she attended Reeths-Puffer High School football games,
cheering on her beloved Rockets in all kinds of weather. She also rooted passionately for the Detroit
Red Wings, Detroit Tigers and Republican Party. Even as she lay in pain during her final days in the
hospital, she talked enthusiastically about Red Wings games that were coming up on television.
Margaret was also blessed with a green thumb. Many of the huge trees that shade her yard today
began as tiny twigs in the back field that she transplanted and nurtured to maturity. While her body
was weathered and beaten by years of bad health, her spirit remained young and untamed. She faced
difficulty and disease with courage and determination, much to the amazement of everyone. She did
not go quietly into that dark night. She truly raged against the dying of the light, grasping for every
last minute of enjoyment she could possibly get from life. Margaret's death leaves a huge hole in the
lives of those who loved her. But those who loved her are better people because of the caring she
invested in them. She wouldn't want us to be sad about her death. She would want us to be happy,
because our happiness was always the key to her happiness. Margaret was a member of Unity United
Methodist Church. SURVIVORS She is survived by her brothers, Clarence and Robert Herbert; sons,
Danny Gunn, Donald Gunn, Gregory (Sandra) Gunn and Steven Gunn; daughters, Diane Klug and
Kathy Kroll; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren and special daughter Cyndi Shultz. She
was preceded in death by her husband, Gordon; sister, Lillian and grandson, Christopher. SERVICE

Marguerite Spence Gunn
Marguerite Spence Gunn - "Music Was Her Name" - Our beloved Peggy, of Austin, Texas, passed
away peacefully on January 18, 2015, after a lengthy illness. She was born 2 April, 1943 to Harry
Buddig Spence and Florence Glass Davis, the second oldest sibling of five children. She was born in
Jackson, Mississippi, and spent her early years in Uniontown, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia. She
attended Grady High School in Atlanta and was a 1965 graduate of Goucher College in Towson,
Maryland. It was in Maryland that, on a blind date, she met her future husband, William T. Gunn III at
his June Week graduation ceremonies of the U.S. Naval Academy in 1963. Peggy and the love of her
life, Bill, married upon her graduation from college and she spent her early married years traveling to
various Naval ports as a Navy wife. While her husband awaited the repair of his ship in the
Philadelphia Shipyard, she had the joy of bringing her first daughter, Christina French into the world.
She enjoyed living in such varied places as Philadelphia, San Juan, Puerto Rico and Virginia Beach,
Virginia. Whatever port of call, Peggy created a home that was always welcoming, unique and
creative. She also worked as a journalist for the Virginia Beach newspaper and taught college classes
as well. After Bill's resignation from the US Navy, they moved to Dallas where Bill pursued his
MBA at SMU. It was in Dallas that their second joy, Carey Spence was born. After graduation from
SMU, Bill was hired by the Trammell Crow Co. Peggy and Bill moved to Austin in 1970 so Bill
could pursue the expanding real estate interests of the Trammell Crow Co. Peggy immediately
became involved in so many ways in the Austin community through charitable and other volunteer
pursuits, including early interests in the League of Women Voters and the Institute of Texan Cultures
in San Antonio. Peggy pursued her dreams and her passions and inspired others to do the same. She
instilled the value of a good education and a love of the arts, especially music, in her children and
many others along the way. Peggy loved gardening, cooking, laughter and her family. She and Bill
both shared a passion for good literature and there were always conversations about whatever good
books they were reading. Peggy was a woman of deep faith and was an active member of St. David's
Episcopal Church. Peggy's great love of music inspired her to become actively involved in the
Symphony Square Committee and she joined the Women's Symphony League in Austin, through
which she was exceptionally proud of both her daughters' presentation at the annual Jewel Ball
benefiting the Austin Symphony. Peggy later served on the Board of Directors for the Austin
Symphony for many years. Her love of education inspired her to serve for years on the Board of
Trustees for her alma mater, Goucher College. Peggy and Bill were also ardent supporters of St.
Stephen's Episcopal School, where the middle school is now named Gunn Hall in recognition of their
contributions and support. Her love of the arts and further involvement in the arts community inspired
her to become involved in the realization of Austin's creative home, the Long Center, where Bill and
Peggy are both acknowledged for their contributions to its construction. The last 25 years of Peggy's
life revolved around her work as the Development Director for the Austin Symphony Orchestra.
Whether it was to raise funds for an extraordinary concert series, to provide classical educational
programs for over 90,000 Central Texas school children or to sponsor the Annual 4th of July
Fireworks and Concert at Auditorium Shores, Peggy will be remembered for her tireless devotion to
raising awareness for and helping to fund the mission of the Austin Symphony Orchestra throughout
the Austin community. Peggy is preceded in death by her parents and sister, Mae Mallory Krulak.
She is survived by her husband, Bill, her daughter, Ceecy and husband, George E. Robinson III, and
their two sons, Bremond and Reed. She is also survived by her daughter, Carey and husband, Eric
Venditti and their daughter, Eleanor. She is also survived by her brother, Harry Buddig Spence Jr. and
his wife, Martha of Goodland, FL; sister, Christina Spence of Oakland, CA; and sister, Sally and
husband, Lee Engler of Raleigh, NC. Peggy was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother,
sister, aunt, friend and mentor. Her memories will be cherished by her husband, children and
grandchildren, her sisters and brother, cousins, nieces and nephews and her many friends. She will be
missed so very much. Peggy's family wishes to thank everyone who gave her companionship, love
and joy throughout her life. Special thanks to her doctors, caregivers, dear friends and extended
family for the loving care, nourishment, good humor, and encouragement throughout her illness.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, January 24, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at St. David's Episcopal

Marion Elizabeth Gunn
Marion Elizabeth, born October 2, 1917, to James and Marian Gunn, completed her earthly journey
October 28, 2009. Her 92 years on the earth were marked with tremendous achievement. She earned a
masters degree from the University of South Florida and taught in Hillsborough County Schools for
over 30 years. She influenced and inspired all of her students, but undoubtedly impacted the entire
program when she taught a former Hillsborough County School Superintendent in elementary school.
She possessed such a compelling smile that could only be fashioned from a joyful soul. Her "true grit
nature" and "no nonsense approach" to life personified strength and vitality. In 92 years, she had not
become a relic, but rather a classic, the kind of rarity that makes one stop in awe and say "they don' t
make ' em like that anymore." She never complained of life' s injustices, but she was a constant
encouragement. She possessed an impeccable memory for which she used to memorize and quote
scripture. "She was without a doubt, one of the Godliest people. Her life was a masterpiece of virtue
that will serve as an inspiration to all those knew and loved her." Services will take place at 11 a.m.

Martha Jane Johnson Gunn
died on the 12th of January 1863 in the town of Manchester, Virginia, Mrs. Martha Jane Gunn in
her twenty-fourth year, consort of J. Freeman Gunn and daughter of Josiah Johnson of Nottoway
County, Virginia. The deceased leaves behind a kind and affectionate husband with whom she
has lived so happily for seven years; one little daughter too young to appreciate the loss she has
sustained; also a devoted father, brothers, and sisters, and many friends to share their irreparable
loss. A little more than two years ago Mr. & Mrs. Gunn moved from Nottoway County to
Manchester and engaged in business that enabled them to do well and would have succeeded in
their plan to rear and educate children had it pleased Providence to spare them. Man may plan
but God frustrates. In the fall of 1862 they were called on to follow the remains of one of their
little ones to its grandfather’s and so consigned it to its final resting place. Shortly after
Christmas she was stricken with small pox and destined with no return. Then their sprightly little
boy was stricken with that most loathsome malady, around whose couch father toiled and did all
that paternal affection could prompt to no avail. Thus is a very brief period this little family have
been and summoned off from the cares and troubles of this unfriendly world. Mrs. Gunn made a
profession of religion some four years ago and united herself to the Baptist church and we have
little doubt her exit is from doom to glory. Date: Saturday, May 2, 1863 Paper: Richmond

Mary K Gunn
March 9, 1919 - February 4, 2014 - On February 4, 2014, the halls of heaven were brightened as
Mary Kerwin Gunn entered its realms. Beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to
many, Mary was born in San Jose, CA on March 9, 1919 to Joseph and Irene Quilty Kerwin. She and
her two older brothers, Jack and Charles Kerwin grew up in Oakland, attending Our Lady of Lourdes
Grammar School and Oakland High School. In 1940 she married Robert Viggo Gunn and made her
home in the Bay Area, raising two daughters, Sister Sally Gunn and Sue Ewald. In 1966 Mary and
Bob moved to Reno. There she joined the Little Flower Church and not only became a member of the
choir, but recruited her grandchildren to help her create a 'Casino Night' as an annual fundraiser for
the Church. She also joined the Women's Boutique at Our Lady of Snows during this time. Later they
moved to Sparks where she attended Holy Cross Church and became an active participant in their
RCIA program. After Bob's death, Mary finally realized her dream of travel and adventure and spent
the next few years with friends and family, going wherever her spirit moved her - from Branson,
Missouri to England and Scotland, with many places in between. Mary moved to Minden Nevada in
2001 to live with her daughter Sue and her son-in-law Hans who have lovingly cared for Mom ever
since. While in Minden she became active in St. Gall Catholic Church and the Douglas County Senior
Center. Mom's friendliness and positive spirit touched many lives. She loved gathering with friends
and most of all, loved her family. She made frequent trips to the convents where Sally lived and kept
up with many of the Sisters of the Holy Names. Her love of music and her beautiful voice, filled our
lives with many magical moments. She will live forever in our hearts and mind, and will be greatly
missed by her daughters, her grandchildren, George Tolon, Stephanie and Ken Burger, Jenny
Holaday, Carmen Ewald and Monique Anderson, and by her great-grandchildren Megan, JP, Jessica,
Makenzie, Mary Scout, Jake, Joel, Cody, Tony, Brandon, and Chynna. She is reunited with her
husband Bob, her great-grandson Landon, her brother Jack, her brother Chuck and sister-in-law Ruth,
her father, and at long last, her Mother, Mimi. She has inspired us all by her unwavering faith and her
unconditional love. What a blessing we all have had by her presence in our lives. We will gather to
celebrate her extraordinary life on Saturday, February 8, 2014 at 11:00am at St. Gall Catholic Church,

Patricia Maud (Gunn) Lambert
November 13, 1933 - February 2, 2015 Pat passed away peacefully at her daughter's home on February
2, 2015, after a short illness. Pat was born on November 13, 1933 in Grand Rapids, MI to her parents,
William Earl & Cecile (Mohun) Gunn, and had an older brother, Bill Gunn. As a young girl, Pat's family
moved to Pasadena, CA, and later moved closer to her extended family in San Francisco, CA. She
attended high school at the Convent of Sacred Heart in San Francisco where she met her former husband,
Thomas M. Lambert. Pat had a wonderful career that included working at Canadian Pacific Airlines in
Honolulu, Hawaii in the early 60's, and then a treatment counselor, an actress, and before retiring enjoyed
a part time job at an assisted living center in Boise, ID. At the age of 50, when Pat took up acting, which
started out as a hobby at The Boise Little Theater, just a few years later she was accepted to the American
Dramatic Academy of Arts school in New York City. Acting became an exciting and rewarding career
that took Pat all over Europe, performing plays in almost every country with the American Drama Group.
In between performances, Pat also enjoyed a seasonal job as a Christmas elf at Macy's Department store
in New York City, and working in soap opera TV shows. At Macy's, she was the oldest elf out of them
all, but had the energy and enthusiasm that the younger elves couldn't sustain. Pat always had a complete
and knowing faith in her higher power, God, and that if she trusted him with her life, she would always
be taken care of. And so it was. Pat shared her beliefs and faith with her family and friends; her words
of wisdom and beautiful smile touched so many. When speaking to others, Pat was able to make one
know they were the most important, and only person in the room. For at least 40 years, Pat mentored
many women, and honored each of them in their own paths, and always celebrated their successes. Pat
will be so missed by so many that adored her. Pat's family loved her beyond the moon and back, Michael
M. Lambert (deceased), Thomas (Todd) G. Lambert, Sandra A. Lambert, and David Lambert (deceased),
Todd's wife, Warlita, and granddaughter, Jessica Lambert. In lieu of flowers, the family request that the
