Grace Gladys Dunn, 92, passed away on Monday, Nov. 30, 2009, in Sandpoint, Idaho.

Graveside services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 10, 2009, at the Mansfield Memorial Park in Mansfield, Ohio.

Grace was born on Feb. 20, 1917, in Frederick, Md., the daughter of Summerfield and Effie (Umberger) Bell.

After her schooling she worked as a waitress before marrying Peter F. Dunn on Feb. 18, 1939, in Frederick.

The couple raised and showed the first line of Black Angus cattle, introduced into the United States, which took them all over the country including Virginia, Mary-land, New York, and finally to Ohio. Grace stayed at home with the children and took care of the home.

When Peter passed away in 1976, Grace moved to North Idaho to be closer to her daughters.

She also spent 17 years in Florence, Ariz., before returning to Sandpoint in 2005.

Grace enjoyed reading westerns, word search puzzles, cooking, watching soaps and westerns on TV, and she especially enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She is survived by her two daughters, Barbara (Frank) Kennedy of Ponderay, Idaho, and Donna Davidson of Florence, Ariz.; two grandchildren, Jim (Sue) Kennedy of Girdwood, Alaska, and Kim (Brian) Carey of Oldtown, Idaho; three great-grandchildren, Davenie and Keith Carey of Oldtown, Idaho, and Wyatt Kennedy of Girdwood, Alaska; several nieces and nephews; and special friends Rex and Sheri Remmers of Sandpoint.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Summerfield and Effie Bell: husband Peter, daughter Davenie Gerger, infant son Tommy Dunn, son-in-law Dean Davidson, three brothers and three sisters.
