Georgia Dunning Obituary

Georgia Dunning, 79, of Wenatchee, WA, passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, October 17, 2016, surrounded by her family. Georgia was born in Neihart, MT, on August 25, 1937. When she was young, her family relocated to a logging camp outside Bly, OR, because her father worked for Weyerhaeuser. She grew up in the mountains of Oregon watching wild horses and enjoying the outdoors. She attended Bly High School until her family relocated to Klamath Falls, OR, her senior year of high school. After graduation, she attended Southern Oregon University, where she was a cheerleader. In the 1950’s, she moved to Seattle, WA, and was employed by the Boeing Company as a draftsman. She met her husband, Paul Dunning, while they were both employed by the Boeing Company. They married May 9, 1959, and made their home in the Seattle area. In the early 70’s, they moved to the Wenatchee Valley, where they raised their four children. Georgia was an active member of her church and community. When she was not busy raising children or watching her grandchildren, she volunteered her time at the Mission Ridge Ski School, Chelan County 4-H, Wenatchee Valley Softball League, Sweet Adeline’s, she sang in the church choir, played the guitar, led many prayer groups, and was instrumental in starting the perpetual prayer chapel at St. Joseph’s Convent. Preceding Georgia in death were her parents. Surviving Georgia are her two sisters and her brother. Also surviving are Georgia’s husband, Paul; her four children: Andrea, Laureen, Tyler, and Maurya; and her five grandchildren. A special thank you to Denise Sewell of ResCare and Hospice Services of Confluence Health for their excellent care of Georgia. A Memorial Mass will be held on Friday, October 28, 2016, at 2:00 p.m., at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. Memorial donations may be made to St. Joseph’s Convent, 600 St. Joseph Place, Wenatchee, WA 98801. Arrangements are by Telford’s Chapel of the Valley, East Wenatchee, WA.
